First steps with DesignSparks PCB

   I have just tried creating a transistor footprint and all appears to go well.
Launching DSPCB and enabling my new 'PCB_Libraries' folder, no footprints are found.

Examining the files present that were created by PCBLibraries they appear to have the wrong filename extension.

I haven't investigated further so any pointers appreciated.

	The files that are created are of the DSL (Design Spark Library) extension. Please reference your tool on how to import those. You may need the latest version of the Design Spark software.
