Johann - There are numerous ways an outline can be written, a g36/g37 description
which is a polygon defining that space within and a new & improved description
described in rs274x.pdf. These have been mentioned for an outline because
the \"lines\" of the perimeter have no width. I\'d be wary of trying to find
an accepted outline description using lines with a width.
What\'s needed now I think is a complete gerber file that works with
Oshpark/4pcb. That would provide a known good starting point for
finding the suitable format for an outline description. That would
serve as a model in the same way the code you posted for the .xln
did. (thanks again for that).
If you have such a .zip file and could send it to me attached
to an email at gbx@rs-big-print.com, it would be much appreciated.

Lasse - tried renaming the file with the outline .gko and it
didn\'t work but Oshpark looked which is changing in the right
direction. Oshpark said roughly \"the .gko file is not a valid
Gerber outline\".
I\'m hoping you have a .gko file that has worked and you would
post a copy here. That would then be used as a model for generating
the outline for a .gko to go with the Eagle here.

Rick - thanks for the drill file below. The altered drill file (no longer files) here
is working but I\'ll keep your code on record in case of trouble with another pcb maker.
The remaining problem is supplying Oshpark with an outline. I had thought a .ref file
with an outline would work but it didnt. I\'m guessing a Gerber code of some sort is needed
to mark the outline. Once again a Gerber file with an outline accepted by Oshpark is
needed.

tried renaming it to .gko ?
try creating annew project and paint the outline as a 6 mil trace in the top copper layer
generate gerbers and rename the top layer file to gko.
(or does eagle 3.5 allow creating a layer named outline? what exactly can it do?)
