Sorry for the delay, other business.
Here is the source code for my cheap & quick spiral Gerber generator!
ftp://ftp.point-lab.com/quartus/Public/ProtelUsers/
Download the 'SPIRAL.ZIP' 708 bytes :)
It is a QBasic program. If you do not have QBasic, it's on the Win98 CD at
'tools\oldmsdos', it's probably on all of Microsoft's CDs.
Just copy both qbasic files to your 'windows' folder for win9x, or 'winnt' folder for
Win2K & WinNT.
Open a shell, type 'Qbasic'
Inside qbasic, load my SPIRAL.BAS file & run.
Fill in the values, or just hit enter for the defaults.
On a PCB, or PCB lib, import Gerber & voila!
Good Luck!

| Mike,
| my comment about Voodoo witch doctors and putting a curse on you was

| exactly what you had intended in your message.
|
| As far as the mitered corners, etc.. We have all seen the so-called
| experts saying miters are fine, miters are not fine. There are a few who
| will back up their statements with empirical data and studies. The others
| will just say that it only works in the precise circumstances of that
| particular test scenario. I know where my leanings are in this argument, it
| is however still confusing to most. Same story with vias are fine, vias are
| not fine.
|
| Let's not start the grand arguments about all of these issues here,
| they are too controversial for us to solve in this forum. The experts have
| been arguing for years and I am sure they will argue for many more.
