Don't worry, I have no intention of removing photo mode from pcb. Thats why I said I have no objections to adding to gerbv but I do object to *moving* (implying removal from pcb) it to gerbv btw, pcb of course can export RS-274X straight from the command line and gerbv can plot to pdf, png, postscript from the command line as well. I can't take credit for any of those features but I'm a big fan of supporting command line operation. -Dan _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
