>ODB++ format is a format Valor came up with for their CAM software. I
>believe you can get information on the format thru www.valor.com.
>
>In laymans terms, it's a manufacturing database much like gerber,
>aperture lists, netlists, test files, etc. This "database" is read into
Valor
>Enterprise (CAM) as a "true" representation of your layout database.
>Valor can supply the scripts which will generate an ODB++ format data-
>base for you. The ODB++ format is NOT proprietary, so other tools can
>generate ODB++ also!
>
>(P.S. you can download the ODB++ format from Valor's homepage. Look
>to the bottom of Customer Support.)
