<H2>joinnets</H2>
<HR>
Join the nets containing the two indicated terminals.
<HR>
<H3>Usage:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>joinnets</B> <I>term1 term2</I> <BR><BR>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
where <I>term1</I> and <I>term2</I> are names of netlist
terminals.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<H3>Summary:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
The <B>joinnets</B> command joins two networks together into a single
network. The two networks are specified by naming a terminal on
each network. If either terminal is not connected to a network,
no action is taken (use the <B>add</B> command to add an
unconnected terminal to a network).
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<H3>Implementation Notes:</H3>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<B>joinnets</B> is implemented as a built-in <B>netlist</B>
window command in <B>magic</B>. It can only be invoked from
a window created with the <B>specialopen netlist</B> command.
This command was previously called <B>join</B>, and may be
used as that abbreviation in the non-Tcl version of <B>magic</B>.
However, the command name <B>join</B> conflicts with the Tcl
command of the same name, and its syntax is not distinct.
Therefore, in Tcl-based <B>magic</B>, the command name <B>join</B>
is interpreted as the Tcl command.
