It was Dieter Bergman I was talking about at a IPC Workshop April 2001.
He also said (I'm paraphrasing) All of the PCB Designers need to apply
pressure on the PCB Manufacturers to start accepting GenCAM which is far
superior and will give us much better PCBs. Garbage in - garbage out.
Quality in - quality out. Gerber simply does not supply enough data
and can be misinterpreted in many ways.
Dieter was very interesting and I did learn some things.
I looking forward to the next workshop I can attend. Probably
around 2011!!

I seem to recall attending a seminar back in 1993
where Dieter Bergman of the IPC was frustrated that
the industry had not stopped using Gerber when the
IPC-D-350 that he had personally helped developed
was "far Superior". I believe that GenCAM is the
direct descendant of IPC-D-350.
