I suggest using an already made library.  I user ENCOM, from ENQUE
software.  I belive the file is ENCOM100.ZIP in the SIMTEL archives.  It
helps recognise special chips...  
I found it easy to use.  If all you need is a small model library, the
SIMTEL file should do... If you need source, the phone number for the
author is included, and I think it is about $50.00 or so.  I called for
tech. support, and they were very helpful.
