Version 1.2 of gerber2pdf.py is available at:

<http://www.swcp.com/~jchavez/gerber2pdf.html>

What is it?
-----------
gerber2pdf.py is a Python program that converts Gerber files (used to
fabricate printed circuit boards) into a PDF document that can be viewed
and printed with the freely available Acrobat viewer. Gerber files must
conform to the RS-274X specification.

My intention is to provide complete support for the full RS-274X
specification. If you find an example Gerber file that is not handled
correctly, or discover bugs in the program, please e-mail me at
jchavez@swcp.com.

Dependencies
------------
Plex (Tested with version 1.1.4) : http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/~greg
reportlab (Tested with release 1.16) : http://www.reportlab.org

What's New?
-----------
Outline macros and multi-line macros are now handled correctly.

Macro primitives with trailing commas in their variable lists are now
handled correctly.

Comment blocks beginning with "G4" are now handled correctly.
