I think you will find that EDIF is indeed oriented to the solution you are
after. The "laundry list" used to generate the EDIF schenatic view was
very similar to the discussion I see here.
1)Multi pages
2) Portable to just about any machine
3) Easy to parse (substitute "BEGIN" for "(" and "END" for ")" to
see what I mean!)
4) Transmits BOTH the graphics (screen display) and connectivity
("spice" netlist) OR just one of the above. Needless to say, if
you don't send something, the file is NOT complete but it at least
conveys the information that you have. For example if ALL you have is
the graphics (screen display on your MAC for example), the EDIF lets
you send JUST that.
Thats to get you interested. At Berkley you need to contact Richard Newton
(I KNOE he has a lot of stuff going on!), otherwise you can contact
the EDIF User Group office and request an "Infrmation Packet"
2222 South Dobson Road
Mesa, AZ 85202
The packet is free.
The Spec. can be purchased from EIA - Standards Sales
2001 Eye St. N.W.
Washington D.C. 20006
Price is $40, $30 for EIA member
companies, and $20 for students.
