Re: Help with Eagle PCB

I'm assuming you are on a Windows platform? You might check out Ghostscript and GSView for Windows (http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/doc/GPL/gpl864.htm). You might also look for ps2pdf -- if there is a Windows version?? With these tools, you can convert your postscript output into a PDF file. Ghostscript also lets you do a bunch of other things with postscript.

(All of this is built-in to most Linux distro's, by the way -- one of the many benefits of going Linux! Oops, sorry -- I forgot we weren't supposed to include religious posts ... :))

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
