If you don't plot schematics then skip this.

I have released a new version of these programs into SCICOM. If I 
broke something, I'm sure you will let me know real quick.

The main changes are added support for Viewlogic PSEUDO format plot 
files and Houston plotters DMPL format plot files.

I also added a scale parameter. The old method (and current default
method) is that files are plotted at half scale, irrespective of the
scale you requested when you plotted the schematic. Most of the time 
this is what you wanted since you used a D size sheet and wanted a B 
size plot. 
You can now change the scale of the final sheet by using the /SCALE 
switch with SCIDPLOT or SDBATCHPLOT. If you say /NOSCALE then there are 
no overrides, and the scale defined at the schematic tool will take 
effect. If you say /scale=0.4 then your final plot will be reduced to 
this ratio of the sheet your schematic was drawn on. If you want full 
scale use /SCALE on its own or /SCALE=1.0

As always type scidplot on its own for a short help screen.
