+GerbMerge is a program for combining (panelizing) the CAM data from
+multiple printed circuit board designs into a single set of CAM files. The
+purpose of doing so is to submit a single job to a board manufacturer,
+thereby saving on manufacturing costs.
+
+Advice: "Users of GerbMerge complain that the configuration file is the
+biggest hurdle to overcome in using the program. Don't panic. Start with
+a sample configuration file and modify it for your own jobs".
+
+This requires SimpleParse.
