ROTFL! I do believe that is the best description ever!

Well, the next problem seems to be that it can't parse a .grb file that 
there are lots of examples of in the /usr/share/doc/gerbv tree.  I thought 
I had read someplace that the .grb format was supposed to be its std input?

Aha, its .gbx files it wants, and even some of those give parse errors.  I 
feel like I'm getting smarter, but its way past breakfast time & I'll 
probably have to retrain myself if I take a break.  :)

I do see one problem with it, don't put any text into the copper, it breaks 
each letter into an isolated spot.  That is a waste of time & bits.

Anyway, like the 30 year old tv commercial for GE, progress, our most 
important product. ;-)

Cheers, Gene
