I agree that hand routing is bad.  Go back and look at the suggested
solutions to some of my header questions and manual layout/ hand routing
was suggested, as far as I can tell.

I'm finding footprints in pcb to be a large headache.   As a matter of
fact, the majority of my time has been spent messing around with
footprints.  Is anyone working on a footprint viewer/editor ?  Kind of
like gschem has a symbol editor ?  Excuse my ignorance...

Thanks.
