Re: gEDA-user: PCB paste layer, revisited.

Dave,

I guess I'm half way (or better) in writing a dxf HID.

Could we join efforts in some way ?

I could send you a tarball with code that I have sofar (it compiles and
still has some bugs in the output, of course it's all "as is" and no
warranties whatsoever, the usual disclaimers apply here).

If I (we?) speed up development of the dxf exporter, DJ and you would
probably not have to "tweak" anymore ;-)

Kind regards,

Bert Timmerman.
