different ways to panelize boards.  ;-)

Don't forget scissors and glue, then photocopy :-)

I was thinking of writing a program in FOCAL-69 to parse and panelize Gerbers, and run it on my PDP-8. Then I can set up a web-based form (implemented as a Java servlet) to submit jobs via the PDP-8's serial port. When the tape drives start spinning and the front-panel lights (not LEDs...incandescent lamps) start blinking, I'll know someone has submitted a panelization job. =)
