Re: Protel or ORcad?

It depends on what you are used too.. PCAD was all rectangles with square
ends.. so you didn't get a feeling of what was there..
Protel is wisiwig... probably too much so now. Pusonix reminded me of
autotrax.. or at least my initial look did.. unfortunately I had to remove
it as DXP's beta loaded a whole new copy.. and each new beta gradually
filled up my windows partition.
