<br><tt><font size=2>Wow BatchPCB is both cheap and informative! I think
I'm almost done <br>
with 2 boards I am wanting to make (I can send them your way, but <br>
wasn't sure if I should attach them to an e-mail or use another <br>
method). The only problem I am having is that I am getting Stop Mask <br>
errors (layer 29) when I run the Design Rules Checker. I think I know <br>
what that is, but have no clue how to fix it (or even if I need <br>
to :P). Any ideas?<br>
