        Ron (off Technet),

        How does your package determine the continuity of a plane layer?
        That is to say, if an array of anti-pads were to isolate a part
        of the plane layer, will this report as a different net?

        Secondly, can the extraction be run in a batch environment (in
        Sun unix), no menus?

        Thanks,
