I haven't tried that route either but will give it a try over the weekend. 
I've been willing to put up with M$ crap because of Protel and at one time 
AutoCad but since M$ have started crying "my way or the highway" I want 
absolutely nothing to do with them and their sh*t. In the meantime I'll have 
another look at Eagle and see if they have made any improvements since last 
last year.  The circuits that I work on are not all that complex. Most of 
them are pic's with a few isolators on a small pcb. Hell, I could almost use 
GIMP is there was a way to generate Gerber files.
