Oh -- I have seen no PNG files in my working directory, but I will
check /tmp.

All my knowledge is from this list: toporouter works more or less fine
with boards with no existing traces. So I used tut1.pcb, deleted all
existing traces and polygons (all in top and bottom layer), pressed key
"O" to optimize rats nest and :toporouter(). Toporouter uses the active
layers for traces, so I deactivate layers called "unused" before.
Generally in less than one minute toporoter is finished and traces are
drawn in PCB board.

OK, thanks.
