I think it must have been some change at their end since the last time
I used it.  I asked for a callback, and they informed me that their system
has trouble with drill files (my CAD program generates + and - coordinates;
apparently, the extra + throws their system off).  Grrr.  It'd have been nice
of them to make mention of that little detail on their results pages, so I
wouldn't have wasted all the time I did.

So be warned!
