But I have seen mails in this PCB forum talking about skill routines for different functions, that save time, resources etc., So I started to learn about skill programming. I went through the help files of Allegro, I understood that, there should be a "ilinit" file in the env path. I copied an example "ilinit" file in the path and opened the PCB editor 15.2. I get the error message in the command window that, there is error in allegro.ini file. I got struck here. I request somebody to guide me, either through this forum or through individual mail. thanks in advance Sumathi <http://in.rd.yahoo.com/specials/mailtg/*http://yahoo.shaadi.com/india-m atrimony/> Yahoo!
