HI Alan,

Good to meet you! I'm getting there. With some kind help from another list
member, I've been able to alter one part by making a "related" part of my
own.

I'll check out the messages on or around 12675. Consolidation would be
great! I did initially check out Eagle's News Group, but I'm not familiar
with news group operation. Then I remembered that Homebrew PCB's was
around. I was interested in it in 2001, and had joined then. Too many
lists!

I want to MILL traces with a CNC'd Sherline mill. May even get around to
finishing up a PCB router I have been collecting parts for.

I hadn't laid out a board MYSELF before, although I've seen plenty of them
developed. The auto-router is really NEAT!
