John was telling me about the equipment he bought to develop the program, which came to several thousand dollars (maybe more than $5K). If that was only a tiny fraction of the development cost for his DXF conversion module, then he shouldn't have brought up the equipment cost. Remember, Ben – John was talking to me about this module for Interchange. Without belittling the effort it takes to do _any_ program correctly, I don't think that it's in the same category as writing a layout package from scratch.
