"For the free publicity, Nick, you're welcome."
I noticed this IPC-PCBL issue was only brought up by individuals at
companies who haven't invested in the 7351 tools. What I find VERY ironic is
although these companies haven't invested in the 7351 tools, they are paying
their staff for the time they take to help publicize PCBL. I really don't
know who to thank more - you, or your companies?

"The point was raised that IPC is not a government agency and
that even the IRS tells you about tax software. That's true.
If they'd partnered with TurboTax up front, TaxCut would
probably have had a much harder time establishing a client
base when they came along, but OK, enough of that."
If I can build a bridge between this analogy - keep in mind that the IRS
doesn't have the need to distribute library to go with the 7351 standard, as
would be expected by most users of the standard.

.....Good question."
See my comment above. If IPC didn't package the Viewer with the standard,
those who bought the IPC-7351 would be asking, "hey, where's the
documentation?". Perhaps IPC should have just referred its customers to
download the software from PCB Libraries' website? Wait, no - that would
have been bad, too. It seems that to some people, no matter what, IPC would
have out of line.

I'm not sure why some took my comments to mean that I resist change or
resent better tools and those who make them, but I must have had it
coming, and am sorry for having implied it.
<SNIP>
Chris, I didn't read that into your original post at all. My
understanding is you are only questioning the rational to why IPC is
bundling a vendor's product with a standard ..... Good question.

That's common sense and the fact that we're having a discussion like
this challenges my faith in natural selection. IPC Is not a government
agency. Even the flippin' IRS will tell you can get Tax software...Does
that challenge my relationship with them? Of course not (that's an
issue unto itself). No where does IPC say you need to use this, or even
still go as far as to reccomend using it. The issue here is the
*implied* reccomendation which to me is absurd.
IPC Is not a government agency.
<SNIP>
Have another cup of coffee man.... Sheeze..
You may want to re-read my post... I NEVER said IPC was a government
agency .... I said "governing"...
The word I chose to used was to show how IMPORTANT IPC is to this
industry, or in my eyes anyway. That is why this troubles me and
obviously others.
Would you like toast with your coffee or would you like coffee on your
toast.... you get both, but, there is a difference.

Brent
My opinion only, again, this isn't Analogic's.
