The "pcb" program is only one of the many layout back ends gEDA supports. He's doing layout with PCB, but for some reason his fab house wants only Protel files. IMO, time to get a new fab house - any worth giving the time of day to can deal with gerber files, although I hear ODB++ is increasingly popular amongst the "serious" fabs. -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!)
