Ben,
I just recently read something on this network concerning PCB software and 
called the company, Protel technology, with great success.
Their number is 1-800-544-4186.  Just tell the person on the other end
who you are and tell them you are interested in Easytrax.  It is shareware
and really does quite a lot.  I am not well versed in it but I am pretty sure
it will at least get you started.  I would send you a copy of what they sent
me but if you call them you will get all of the information on their other
software also. 

good luck

Richard
