A good question - mainly because I didn't know the cgs file section was
being used.

Ok, I uploaded my **very, very preliminary** design sketch of a motm
style 4U Scheaffer panel (so you will need FrontPlatten Designer to
view it) into the cgs files section under Panel Designs - Preliminary.
For me this panel design will definitely change - it is something that I
am working on when I want to, not on a schedule. Be sure to **check
dimensions, hole spacing, ...** as I have not yet done these necessary
measurements. Also, since this is a straight forward interface, I'm in
minimalist mode at the moment (e.g., no numbering for pot rows/columns,
minimal pot tick marks).

For Stooge panels, yes. However, my understanding is that the Stooges
do not accept Schaeffer designs as Front Panel Designer .fpd files do not
'conform' with the software used for Stooge panels [Larry, Dave, if I'm
wrong, correct me].

Hope this is useful to some, Jeff
