Thanks Barbara, but I'm not sure how to run "flash_convert" on the board. Is it
in a command prompt window, as "flash_convert *.brd"?
Thanks for your help!

Gary,
I think the board was created with the old style flash symbols env
variable on. You need to run flash_convert on the brd file to have wysiwyg
negative plane thermal display that uses your library flash symbols.
LMK directly if there's more to it.
Regards,
Barbara
