Hi John,
you might add EAGLE version 7.x to the proven as compatible versions in the "setup" ULP.
I use version EAGLE 7.7 since a long time and had no issues (besides the "climb/not climb" and the "drilling/spotting holes" as described on my homepage.
Your current Alpha version seems to run, too, but not thoroughly tested, still.
Presumably the "drilling/spotting holes" is not fixed, since the changes of Alexander Arkusha are not there in the Alpha.
