I don't doubt this, because I can't write code OR layout, for love or money!!
More evidence that all god's chillun are different;D

on the subject of jumpers, I always ask for them to be normal resistor spacing, 
and use those 'zero ohm' links that are the same structure as 1/4 W resistors.
It is a hell of a lot easier putting resistors in that wire links!
