EAGLE library, locking for motorola's one

[legacy]

hi guys
i'm new about the EAGLE Cad, i recently installed the program and i have been learning it.
for i very tiny project i need these two parts (1) and it seems EAGLE is not provided with.

i have found a very old library for the mc68ez328, but EAGLE says "too old, it is previous v4.4" refusing to import it

so what could you suggest me to do ? to create a library from the scratch ? in case, any suggestion is welcome


(1)
- mc68hc11 in PGA52 package
- mc68EZ328 in tqfp100 package

[legacy]

this is the mc68ez328 library i am not able to import

it seems 4 years later

Ah. You must be one of those 'component library part creation-phobes'.

I used to be like you.

Once you start making your own component parts you will never look back. This is probably a good time to start. I know it's not fun but it's part of the process.

If you're not on a windows box, try reading the library on one and writing it out in a more modern format.
For some reason, non-windows versions of EAGLE seem to have less legacy format support.

thank you guys

just an other question: is it possible to "grab" a component from a library and to add it to a brand new custom-library ?

if so, how to do it ?

also … is there a library populated ONLY with packages ?

Yes, that is possible. Open the new custom library in the library editor, then go to the EagleCAD Control Panel and under libraries/lbr find the library and the component that you want to copy. Then right-click the component and select "Copy to library".
