      Try PADS-PCB.   It is available as a fully working demo.   It
is only limited in the size of the design that it will handle.
No not than two board layers and about 20 IC's.   It has a
schematic capture editor, a board layout editor, an auto-router,
and a large parts library.   You can get it from Simtel20.
