I think that's the one I saw. Utterly shockingly bad piece of software. Not even
the tiniest attempt to make it a Windows program which suggests to me you're
better off sticking with the DOS version.

From other comments in this newsgroup I had the impression that Protel 99
SE Service Pack 6 was pretty good.

If you're happy with the mouse doing nothing other than moving a pointer around you
might also be happy with Eagle which is free.

We had a sub-contractor do a board re-layout for us using Protel and I used the demo
copy to look at it. I couldn't make any sense of it ) Protel nott he board that is ),
whereas something like Pads/powerpcb seemd intuitive instantly and I could use that to
transfer info back to another subbie very easily.
