Excellon Drill Files

2007-01-29 by Phil Mattison

I've been evaluating FreePCB for prototype PCBs and it looks like the drill
files are created in mils instead of inches. Also the files use a G6 code
for the drill cycle, which is not recognized by TurboCNC. Does anyone know
of a utility to convert drill files into a more RS274NGC-friendly format?
