I'm sure that it IPC released the gerber files for the qualification
coupons, they would be "swapped" more and more frequently between
companies and individuals and eventually no one would buy copies from
IPC.  Lets all remember that the IPC is a business and is ultimately
there to make money.  If there is any doubt to that, just look at the
outrageous prices that they charge for a 30 page black and white
photocopied standard such as the J standards.  I am not criticising,
they are a necessary evil to which we all depend upon.

Can anybody tell me why IPC wants the industry to use their
Qualification Coupons and the Artwork is only availiable as photo-plots
and not in gerber format.  This is really a pain since after you buy
their artwork you have to pay to have it scanned at a high price I might
add, ... What is the reason that such a large organiztion can not handle
a couple of gerber files... this just blows my mind.. Then we tried to
order the artwork and they tell us their all out and can't in touch with
"The Guy" who does their artwork... Does "THIS GUY" need a lesson on how
to output gerber files... I would appreciate a response from IPC
directly if possible...

Thank You
