I take it back about technology.
Brock mailed me the 'convert' program, which will turn a two-colour bitmap
file into a Protel PCB file.
Download it at http://www.octavo.demon.co.uk/Convert.zip

I just tried it out on Juergen Haible's ARP Quadra phaser foil (which I
already built two of), and got a useable import of his foil to place pads,
tracks and components over in a couple of minutes. Now I can edit it to suit
the pots and brackets I use.
This is going to be so useful.
If I can get a digital photo of a PCB converted into a useable b&w bitmap,
this will make it really easy to clone boards.

I could still use a personal Jet-Pack tho'.
