(as eveyone should have gnown anyway) I think a few less /\'s would be better in your resistor: eg: -/\/\/\/- or -/\/\/- or, perhaps: ---v^v^v^--- (yuck) It seems that all the resistor symbols that I've seen have three pointy edges on each side, and the final zag goes in the opposite direction to the initial zig. Inductor: -uuuuu- or -wwwww- or -mwmwmw- you have to have 'em wiggly, no? what do you do in the case of a transformer: -wwwww- ===== -mmmmm- Anyone interested in circuit symbols usable under Macdraw? Drop me a line.

Are you serious? And is this possible? Can you (or anyone) copyright something that people have been using for years, and that each person likely came up with on their own? Am I under copyright violation by including the above text in this posting? :-) (*) How about if I hereby copyright the symbol '|' ? Unix (tm) users beware!

I don't mean to start This reminds me of the rumor I that Zilog tried to trademark the capital letter Z. According to the story it was thrown out of court... "....W X Y Z (tm)"
