Well, Harry's email address is on the bottom of the web page.  I hope
*he* knows about it ;-)

If they had waited a little longer, they could have hooked it into the
HID interface instead.  Oh well.

They're also missing the >8 layer support and symbolic flags
(i.e. they can't load files from our pcb).

Pedantry: there is no gPCB.  There was a project called gPCB that had
nothing to do with PCB that we currently use.

Also, technically the sourceforge version of pcb is the fork from
Harry's "official" version.
