TinyCAD...   I guess I forgot which list I was 
on.  I use FreePCB and Orcad and am planning to 
switch to a different schematic package 
sometime... maybe.  So I am looking at TinyCAD as 
well as some others.  I'm actually here because I 
am using Gerbv.  It has some display issues, but 
in some draw modes they aren't apparent so I can 
switch to see what are design issues and what are 
viewer issues.  Gerbv is such an easier to use 
tool than GCpreview there is no comparison.  But 
I have to use both to be sure of what I am seeing sometimes.

BTW, to whoever took the time to port Gerbv to 
Windows, thanks a lot!  We non-developer types appreciate it.

No, as you can see above, your reply is all run 
together.  I also have this problem with one 
poster in the ZPU mail list.  He says it is 
Eudora, but I only have the problem with two or 
three posters.  Go figure!  Do computers EVER just WORK???
