The initial release (Version 0.1) of gerber2pdf.py is available at:

<http://www.swcp.com/~jchavez/gerber2pdf.html>

What is it?
-----------

gerber2pdf.py is a Python program that converts Gerber files (used to
fabricate printed circuit boards) into a PDF document that can be viewed
and printed with the freely available Acrobat viewer.  Gerber files must
conform to the RS-274X specification.  

My intention is to provide complete support for the full RS-274X
specification. However, this early version has seen only limited testing
so far.  If you find an example Gerber file that is not handled correctly,
or discover bugs in the program, please e-mail me at jchavez at swcp.com.

Dependencies
------------

Plex (Tested with version 1.1.4)     : http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/~greg
