Hello,
	I'm having a small problem with the Gerber export in PCB.  When it 
generates the cnc drill file, it starts the tool numbers at an arbitrary 
count.  For example,

...
T648C0.016
T647C0.167
...

	This normally isn't a problem when I'm viewing the gerbers in gerbv, 
but my fab house is complaining that they can't handle tool numbers 
greater than 255.

	While I imagine that they can fix things on their end, is there any 
reason to start the tool numbers so high?  Why can't they simply start 
at 001?  Is there a workaround where I can fool PCB into starting at a 
lower number, so I don't have to manually edit the file and risk making 
a mistake?

	Thanks for your help!

Geoffrey
