OOPS, just noticed your already a member of the yahoo group. Also, I
did not realize until after my previous post that pcbgcode.com was a
seperate addon to pcb2gcode.ulp!

The ulp (latest version 3.5.2.11) is the latest version of pcb2gcode
and works very well as a stand alone product. You are not required to
have the pcbgcode.com front end. If you search around the group,
there have been some attempts at optimization, but I don't use them
and therefore can't say how effective they are. I do use the auto
leveling add on and it seems to work quite well (the R68 version) and
all of this in Eagle 5.11.0.
As others have said, if you use Eagle 6.x, there is a "fix" in the
files for the changes in the math structure, but consider that as a
beta at this time. I have not seen any feedback on how well it works.
