CapFast/EDIF Tools have been improved

EDIF Writer

Automated addition of design directories to the data file search path. Design subdirectories with hierarchy are also added to the path. This eliminates the need to add path on command line which is inconvenient with more complex designs.
Improved memory allocation and management, resulting in higher speed and capacity.
Fixed several bugs associated with global and local port connectivity, chiefly:

unconnected global ports were connected together in the EDIF representation.
onpage connecter named the same as an existing offpage connector caused the latter to disappear from the list of global ports.

Fixed several bugs associated with handling of properties, particularly when they are entered incorrectly by the user (i.e. a property with an empty name caused a crash).
Improved error handling and generation of error messages to the user.
Improved compatibility with various EDA vendors’ EDIF translators (i.e. Mentor Graphics).

Defined and implemented the instance designator suffix property. If the instance designator suffix property is given in the control file, and the property appears on an instance, its value is appended to the designator (CapFast ref property).
Defined and implemented filename mapping in control files. Users can choose what names are to be used when creating design symbol files. These names are used if no collision occur with names already generated.

Improved algorithm that comes up with unique file names. In cases where collisions occur, attempts are made to construct substitute names, using as much of the original name as possible. In most cases, a much more meaningful filename is produced.
