This file format is only what is asked by my board manufacturer.
I do not know if this is a standard.
Rather than changing this format, i prefer to have the possibility to
generate different format, and of course some standard formats, if exists.

<p>Is our file format for the menu choice "Post Process" | "Generate <br>
