Yes. - "STFW" - "I found plychlorinated biphenyls and also a lot of talk about how to do PCBs at home. But I still didn't find where to download the program." It could be renamed to gPCB and merged formally into the gEDA project. But still better than naming a program "The" or "A". CL< > > >Don't rely on polygons for an electrical connection.
