<h2>DESCRIPTION

</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><i><b>olib</b></i>
is a simple automated converter from OrCAD v4 (in SDT
version 1.10) ASCII parts library to gEDA component
definition in .sym format file. It allow an initial dumb
conversion file to file, with one lib converted in multiple
.sym file, one per component in library. The converted
component file may need a little editing to become usable,
but in some case needs no editing at all. <b>olib</b> will
write one file per part in the current directory.</p>
