-Drl2g is a tool written in Java for converting Drl files used in the fabrication of [PCB](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printed_circuit_board). It converts drl files as generated by [Kicad](http://www.kicad-pcb.org/) into gcode that can be executed by [emc2](http://www.linuxcnc.org/).
+Drl2g is a tool written in Java for converting Drl files used in the fabrication of [PCB](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printed_circuit_board). It converts drl files as generated by design tools such as [Kicad](http://www.kicad-pcb.org/) into gcode that can be executed by [emc2](http://www.linuxcnc.org/).
 
 It also optimizes the path that the machine uses to drill the holes. The included heuristic is the minimum Euclidean distance between points. That is, the next hole to be drilled is the closest one to the present position. This heuristic generally generates efficient paths. 
 The following image shows the output for this algorithm as read by [linuxcnc](http://www.linuxcnc.org).
