-About PCB Tools
-===============
-
-
-PCB Tools provides a set of utilities for visualizing and working with PCB
-design files in a variety of formats. The design files are generally referred
-to as Gerber files. This is a generic term that may refer to
-`RS-274X (Gerber) <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerber_format>`_,
-`ODB++ <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ODB%2B%2B>`_ ,
-or `Excellon <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Excellon_format>`_ files. These
-file formats are used by the CNC equipment used to manufacutre PCBs.
-
-PCB Tools currently supports the following file formats:
-
-- Gerber (RS-274X)
-- Excellon
-
-with planned support for IPC-2581, ODB++ and more.
