As it turns out Jim didn't have to write a single line of code...;-) Changing the
first line of  EzTrax files from PCB FILE 5 to PCB FILE 4 works for Traxmaker 
and changing the first line Traxmaker file from PCB FILE 4 to PCB FILE 5 works 
for EzTrax. I know it looks backwards....

So I can print Traxmaker files to postscript using the easyedit utility. Best of all 
I can move my PCB and parts library to Traxmaker.. I'm even gonna draw my 
schematics with it..;-) If you look, you might still be able to find a unbundled 
copy of TraxMaker for about $90.00. That's a deal if you a still using EzTrax.

Thanks Jim
