More often then not, when I had problems like that with Icarus Verilog
it turned out to be different handling (by the O/S) of dynamically
allocated memory. One or the other (I forget which) will leave random
data in malloc'ed memory. If malloc'ed data is not initialized, this
can lead to code

Hi,
I've submitted a design to BatchPCB for fab and it appears to have
passed their automated DRCs just fine. I did get an email back from
their admin guy though with the following comment on the drill file:
only thing is the LZ after INCH - leading zeros are not
actually omitted. We can fix
Which version of PCB? Mine has TZ, not LZ, there. And I recently
submitted a job to batchpcb but didn't get any comments back.
Anyway, if you want, just have him email me directly and I'll make pcb
do the right thing. We've done stuff like this for fab shops before,
and it helps to know what

I've sent quite a few boards through BatchPCB with good success. The
job setup web page asks for drill format when you submit the file to the
DRC bot. I'm not sure what I always say because I can never remember, so
I look at the drill file every time -- it seems I get it right, mostly,
too :)
Looks like Inch, 1.3, trailing zero is the default output from PCB??
We use a %.3f printf format. So as long as your holes are less than
10 inches, yeah, it's 1.3TZ. They did say they were getting rid of
that question, though, as they can usually figure it out from the
drill file itself.

P.S. One note on BatchPCB -- the web site says ..communicate the board
outline somehow... -- in my experience it should really say ... put
your board outline on top silk, because we don't look at
BTW - for those who have sent designs through BatchPCB: after clearing
DRC they sent me .PNG images of the front back copper, as well as the
front silk, mask and copper superimposed. If you've gotten these images
too, did yours have the drill holes in the pads vias? Mine didn't...
