If you're looking for a free pcb cad package, these diffs may be for
you.  They are to be applied to Randy Nevin's pcb.arc version 1.00 to
compile with gcc under SunOS 4.1.  The original sources are at
wuarchive.wustl.edu in mirrors/msdos/cad/pcb.arc (or something like
that).

Besides making pcbroute run, pcbprint was modified to generate pbm
files which can be converted to a variety of formats with pbmplus
(expo.lcs.mit.edu:contrib/pbmplus.tar.Z). No attempt has been made to
Unixify the programs, pcbprint wants flags MSDOS style, e.g.  "pcbprint
/Z3 foo".

DISCLAIMER: I have not tested the package beyond trying the example,
printing the generated layers and observing that they look like good
traces. I have not tried making PCBs; I don't have the materials at
hand.  I'm sure there are limitations, but hey what do you want for
free?  I'll be no good at answering questions about the package. I hear
that Randy has a more comprehensive release he's selling. That's all I
know, contact Randy yourself.  I'm posting these diffs simply because
the diffs are so small and somebody might benefit.
