Hi all,

I've been playing with an old utility, pcb2ncap, form 2001, by Luis 
Claudio Gamboa Lopes. It can convert a PCB design into a design mucs can 
load an route then convert the results back to PCB.

Running it on the example board coming with the utility, I got this.

Input: http://igor2.repo.hu/tmp/tut.pcb (+ a netlist)
Output: http://igor2.repo.hu/tmp/tut_routed.pcb

I could invest some more hours and rewrite the util to be a plugin. The 
question is whether it is worth the effort. More generally, do anyone like 
the example output? Or the idea of the "biased layers" (hirozontal traces 
on one layer, vertical on another, plus a lot of vias)?

TIA,

Igor2
