OK, I did some checking, and I now see that I overlooked the 'File 
format' option when saving the design. The default 'lihata' format is 
not PCB-compatible.

Still a bit strange though, as I started out with a geda/pcb file. But I 
probably wasn't paying attention when saving it (and the first time I 
used pcb-rnd, it was still from /trunk/src, without actually installing 
it -- maybe this had something to do with it).

(There's a LOT of new stuff in pcb-rnd, and I haven't had time yet to 
explore it all -- but knowing about the file formats saves me some 
head-scratching :-)  )


Anyway, thanks again,

Best regards,

Richard
