Homebrew PCBs

Hi John,

I haven't played with KCam enough, I guess.  I gave it a Gerber file,
but I didn't see anything (graphics), just a few random lines. I looked
at the Gcode in the window, but wasn't sure about it.  It had "M3 Z1"
and "M5 Z.5" between EACH cut!  So I can see why you said it takes a LOT
of lines!  I'm probably doing something wrong, or my "fake" RS-274X
header is incorrect.

I have an OLD demo, no Gcode save (I believe).
