comp/<comp>/ Component Defintions

This directory contains information to a specific component as distinct from the component type. globalic creates a file in this directory titled NETLIST.BACK, which contains back-annotation for pins which are unreferenced in the component type definition but are defined via the global interconnect.

cable/<cable> Cable Definition

This file is a PADS-style netlist defining the interconnect for cables which are not one-to-one. It can be generated either from a Viewlogic schematic or from a cable definition sheet in the Excel spreadsheet. I believe that for the purposes of global interconnect signal names in this netlist will be ignored.
