I've found a project on github [1] that I am interested in, but I have not been 
able to open the PCB file correctly.  It seems that 5.1 is too old to handle 
this file, but 5.99 has several issues, as described in [2].

It looks like the ground plane is not being processed properly.  I also noted that the 
three "zone" buttons on the left pane of pcb_new are grayed out, which seems 
very strange.

I'm not sure if the original project authors did something wrong. I see both a 
.pro and a .kicad_pro file in the directory, so they must have switched major 
releases at some point.  But I'd still expect pcb_new to be able to deal with 
the board file.

Just delete the .kicag_prl file, or reenable the visibility of objects.

Thanks - that helps.  But something is still wrong.  When I toggle the pads and 
zones visibility to turn them on, I see the zones filled in, as expected.

But then, when I type ^B, I get 88 unrouted nets, and if I had "Show filled areas of 
zones" selected, the filled zone in the center of the board disappears although the 
zone outline remains.

So it seems that something is still wrong.

    Steve -

^B removes the zone fill. B rebuilds the zone fill.

Ooops.  I feel stupid.  Thanks for the help. :-)
