_______________________ Subject: Footprint Pattern
     Larry,
     
     I saw your message (below)...did you get your answer??
     What system are you using ? Does it not support alternate part usage? 
     Does it support manufacturing clean-up?

     I'm a pcb designer.  I have a customer that needs the option of using 
     either a .3 wide or .4 wide 32 pin j-leaded part in the same location.
     
     These are only prototype boards and small quantity.  Probably won't be 
     reflowed.
     
     Question:
     
     In order to accomodate both parts the footprint is going to be extra 
     long. What problems will be encountered soldering the part to the 
     board?  Will the solder wickup onto the j-lead properly?
     
     Any suggestions?
