Bugs in the gcode exporter are my main beefs. In the gcode output for 
bottom.ngc, with spot drilling enabled, it outputs a line for each of 
the holes, but fills the first 6 of those lines with X0 Y0, so it pecks 
at the lower right corner 6 times, and then spots the rest of the holes 
just fine.

Then, in the mill/drill file, it ignored the request for inches, outputs 
mm's, including the command that puts the LCNC interpretor into the mm's 
mode. But then when I check the file times, it was not even regenerated 
that last time I exported the gcode.  So theres 4 bugs, the 4th one 
being that the gcode exporter fills everything in the boxes for its data 
translations, in with what I have to assume is mm data for everything 
that ought to be inches.

But this is stuff I should take to the geda-user list, which I just sent 
a sub message to join. I do not for a millisecond, think this is a 
debian problem.

I clicked on it, several times after I had arranged things by hand, and 
it never did a thing except waste 1.5 seconds spinning its wheels.

Now, to put this almost back on topic, the first $80 bytes of the 
bin/eagle file are:  Humm, so much for that, khexedit will not do a 
mouse copy/paste.  Luverly.  Anyway it does say ELF in the first 5 or 6 
bytes. Looks like a linux ext-something file to me.
