Hi Everyone,

I would like to build my own "septambic keyer" using Steve Mann's =
design:

http://wearcam.org/septambic/

I shouldn't have any trouble programming the PIC, but I am not fluent in =
Linux and I can't make sense of the .pcb layout / schematic Steve =
provides on the site. I belive it is a .pcb format for use with "PCB" =
for Linux (http://bach.ece.jhu.edu/~haceaton/pcb/).

Opening the .pcb file in a text viewer it doesn't look too complicated =
(it's built around a PIC anyway) but I can't work out the format that it =
stores everything in. It really needs to be read under its own software.

Could somebody give me a hand on installing and running this PCB =
software under Linux? I can set up a machine under Debian and log in and =
log out but that's about it, (I can't mount drives or view directory =
contents... can somebody help me with these commands anyway?)

Either that, or could somebody already running Linux open the PCB file =
and screenshot its contents to an image file? That would give me a look =
at the circuit schematic or PCB layout so I could reproduce my own.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Nick
