Yes I know - and it would be a conclusion - but honestly - I'd never 
programmed under Linux and I employ this project and linux itself for so 
short time, that I don'd want to add bugs...

Yes I know both, but the upload is only an upload (where is the actual 
download?) and the site of Marvin doesn't work...is'nt it?

For that reason my thougth: Why not a simple ftp-server on 
geda.seul.org...where every member of this group is able to access? 
(perhaps with an passphrase...)


But I've got unfortunately a new question:
Is it possible, that PCB (Iso-cd version 28.12.2004) does'nt work with 
the 1/100 mil Option []?
I just play with a footprint and the log-window reports a syntax error 
if I try to use the brackets..
