most pcb's are specified as a 'Gerber-file'. the language is very much
G-code related BUT. . .
it specifies the thickness of the pen (or the aperture) and the
cooordinates of the track that is drawn with it.
But for milling we need the "negative" i.e. the coordinates of the
isolation between the
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
written only for eagle.

This is working well so far, but it would be much better if, for
