Oh, Do you now? You Psychic? 

FWIW The Reason I needed to make diffrent nets diffrent colors was so 
that the schematic could be published for a group who may NOT be that 
well versed in electronics. If the nets could be made diffrent colors 
then there would be less chance of incorrect wireing done by someone 
following the schematic. Colors also show the functions of the 
various nets.

Yea, Eagle has a function like that, 'SHOW' (Little Eyeball Icon)
click it, click the net, highlights the whole net, incluiding 
component pins. Eagle ALSO has "Electrical Rules Check' which will 
generate a list of suspected errors according to the design rules in 
use.

This was never intended to spark some sort of "This Editor is better 
than that one" type of FLAME WAR. 
I was only asking if anyone knew of a Script or ULP that would 
perform the "colorizing" of selected nets.

Even using a 'junk' email address I prefer not to have to enter a lot 
of information before I can download a evaluation copy of software.
Had to do that once for a piece of CNC related software, Had to give 
a Valid phone # and I entered one. Salesman pestered the CRUD out of 
me twice a week for about 3 Months. Told him the first couple of 
times that I was'nt interrested and then I started checking caller ID
before answering the phone, what a PITA! (Pain In The A**).
