Bob:
I just had time to read the introductory documenation and it
says:
GerbMerge currently works with:
∗ CAM data generated by the Eagle circuit board
design program, with "best effort" support for
Orcad and PCB
∗ Artwork in Gerber RS274-X format
∗ Drill files in Excellon format
If I'm lucky, it will slurp up KiCAD output without any
problems. Otherwise, I will have to find out what it does
not like, and fix it. There are all sorts of little things
in RS274X that can trip up a program like this. I'll give
it a try in a week or so and report back to the group.
