The Pulsonix software I use generates this for one of my boards:

The file format is completely user-configurable, this the default
output. It seems to have lost the neat format of the original.

Thanks Leon.

Someone sent me a Panasonic file which is a bit different.
The Panasonic file includes fiducials for aligning the pick and place
machine.
It also includes info on whether the data is metric or imperial.
The Panaosic format uses *side1* or "side2* once each instead of top/
bottom on each line.

The Pulsonix version looks like a cut down Panasonic file format.

I have written the software now and used the Panasonic format.
