Followup to my original posting about intermittent crashes of old Protel 3.x on both of my WinXP machines. For the archives.
The suggestion that I try running Protel under VM Workstation was an excellent one. Protel 3.x's autorouter is still a piece of rubbish,and the program is, overall, still a pain to deal with. But it's running sweetly under VM Workstation. $189 for VM Workstation is a steal, compared with the $3,000 I was offered by the local Altium rep for a pre-owned copy of 99SE, or $10,000 for a seat of Altium.
Many thanks to all who chimed in to offer suggestions!
BTW, if anyone wants to sell their legal copy of 99SE, which I am told is a good stable Protel, please drop me a note. I am not trolling for warez.
