<DT><FONT FACE="Arial"><FONT SIZE=3><B>CVPCB</B> allows you to
assign each <B><I>component</I></B> that appears in the netlist
created by the Schematic program to the name of the <B><I>footprint</I></B>
which will represent it on a printed circuit board, and adds this
information to the netlist. </FONT></FONT>
<DT><FONT FACE="Arial"><FONT SIZE=3>Generally the netlist does not
specify which <B><I>footprint</I></B> (i.e. the physical appearance
of the component) the printed circuit software (<B>PCBNEW</B>) will
have to display to create the general drawing of the card. </FONT></FONT>
<DT><FONT FACE="Arial"><FONT SIZE=3>Components can be assigned to
their corresponding footprints manually. You can create <I>Equivalence
files</I>, which are look-up tables associating each component with
its footprint. <FONT FACE="Arial, sans-serif">When equivalence files
are available, automatic assignment is possible.</FONT></FONT></FONT><DT>

for the PCB software is contained in one or more <I>FOOTPRINT

<DT><FONT FACE="Arial"><FONT SIZE=3>This interactive approach is
much simpler than directly placing the assignments on the schematic,
because as well as allowing automatic assignment, <B>CVPCB</B>,
allows you to see the list of the footprints available, and to
