Hi all!

I would like to thank everyone who responding to my question about the 
differences between RS-274 and RS-274-X.  I've learned more about Gerber files 
in the past twenty-four hours than I have in the five years since I started 
working here.  I approached my senior designer about this and he's wiling to 
look into whether our board fabricators have the capabilities of reading this 
format.  I was able to show him how simple it was.  The only snag we've found 
was in the program we use in-house to mill prototype boards.  It apparently 
requires an apperture list.  We may have to revert to RS-274-D for our 
prototypes and use RS-274-X for the final release.

If anyone out there can help me with that little glitch, I'd surely appreciate 
it.  We use Isolator/Isolator for Windows version 3.2.3 by T-Tech Inc out of 
Atlanta GA.

Many thanks!
