        !            72: .I fizz
        !            73: suite of programs handle all the physical aspects of creating a
        !            74: wire-wrap, buried micro-via or microwire board.
        !            75: All the programs take
        !            76: .IR fizz (10.5)
        !            77: input;
        !            78: .IR cdl (10.5)
        !            79: can be converted with

        !            81: .PP
        !            82: All of the programs can take multiple files;
        !            83: most of the programs require that the files form a board description.
        !            84: Normally, this is arranged amongst four files (with recommended suffix):
        !            85: the board and special signal layout
        !            86: .RB ( .brd ),

        !            90: the package descriptions
        !            91: .RB ( .pkg ),
        !            92: and the chip positions
        !            93: .RB ( .pos ).
        !            94: In general, if the file arguments are missing, standard input is used.
        !            95: .PP
        !            96: .I Fizz artwork
        !            97: prints various artwork information for the board definition in

        !           121: Specifically, it checks that no net is too large;
        !           122: no chip pin coincides with an inappropriate special signal pin,
        !           123: and no chip pin appears on more than one signal.
        !           124: Option
        !           125: .BI -c chip

        !           139: and checks that all of and only the clips specified are present.
        !           140: Standard input is used if there are no file arguments.
        !           141: The output reports missing clips in a format suitable as part of a board description.
        !           142: The clipfile consists of directives (one per line) of the forms
