PCB-Gcode is written in ULP Language. As long as gEDA doesn't support
this programming language you can't use it. I think it was originally

I don't think the POSITION_FILE works reliably w/ steppers. When you shut
power off a stepper, it wants to move to a full step position (where it
'cogs'). Power was being applied to hold it at a partial step which is no
longer available. So when you turn power off, the machine moves slightly.
