Anyone have comments? Yes, try Protel (Easytrax or other) and DC-Cad (Design Computation). The Protel shines in ease of learning, the DC-Cad in its power and end-to-end capability (schematic cap, layout, ar) for $500 complete. The DC autorouter is maybe the best price/performance ratio package around. Hope your AT has a co-processor; NOT a requirement, if you like taking naps during your computing sessions. --------------------------\ /----------------------------------------------- INTERNET:tindle@ms.uky.edu | "Could you please continue the petty bickering?
