Although I have not used EasyPC for a number of years it always seemed good
value for the money but Boardmaker 2 (a clone of Easy PC?) was similar but
had some very significant advantages.
B'maker3 was/is a notable downgrade from its DOS predecessor and not worth
persuing but I am looking for a decent 'new' package.
Is Pulsonix any good - is it a development of Zukens' Cadstar?
(It would need to be a significant development as Cadstar appears to me to
be all bells and whilstles but with exceedingly limited functionality for
actually tracking pcb's!)
