Homebrew PCBs

Hi Alan, 
I'm definitely interested in what your program can output. As you 
know I'm working on the same algorithm, so any development in that 
area is beyond cool. There aren't many people on earth that are 
working on this, so it is nice to meet a fellow explorer.

I'll try to upload a pic of my input and output in the next few days.

I tried viewing the file you uploaded, but I couldn't get to it.
