Homebrew PCBs

An upgrade has just been published for Diptrace, v1.40. There were 
many significant additions and improvements. For this group the two 
new goodies are the ability to set the colors on the printout (direct 
to inkjet printing). and the free version now supports manufacturing 
file outputs. like DXF and gerber. Included is a isolation milling 
output.

Oh yes, for those EAGLE users, Diptrace now includes a couple of 
ULP's to allow Diptrace to import EAGLE schematics and board files.

The free version is limited only to the number of pins, not the size 
of the board.
