Two more important things:

- Changing the extensions .art to .gbr doesn't make any difference.
- Gerbv doesn't show anything when I drag the .art files to the script
link on a KDE desktop; when calling gerbv from the command line with
gerbv *.art, more happens, but I get the following error message for
every layer:

** (process:17375): CRITICAL **: Image rotation must be 0, 90, 180 or
270 (is actually 0)

gerbv now displays something, but it's an awful mess. Also, I'm still
unable to open the drill files (ncdrill-1-8.tap, and perhaps
ncroute.rou).


Thanks in advance,

With best regards,

Richard Rasker
