Really great. 1)Would help all at Piclist if you could have added the url for Protel or similar if you find something interesting rather than all enthusiasts getting on the web searches. Would help all to save time. 2)It is great to have references like the one on top here to understand the context. Would not it be great if it could be edited a little to keep it short n sweet? in my statistics of recent past i am wasting almost 30-35% of my download time and mail reading time on the references. i am sure it must be a repeat for all piclisters. carry on pic'rs Rajnish(noEngineer) _______________________________________________________ Get Private Web-Based Email Free http://www.hotmail.com

No autorouting, rules/netlist checking. Check out <http://www.protel.com> Next up I'd suggest TraxMaker, by MicroCode, Windows32 based, about $500. Autoroutes, does DRC. Reads Protel files. Check <http://www.microcode.com> ====================================================== Just to make it easier, here is the *exact* url for the d/l - not just the Protel home page. <www.protel.com/download/dos/easytrax.zip> And the TraxMaker url <http://www.microcode.com/TMDEMO.ZIP> 3.48M And, if you want it, the CircuitMaker (Schematic design) <http://www.microcode.com/CMDEMO.ZIP> 2.68M Finally, give this site a try when you can't find things. <http://www.metacrawler.com> - Its a search engine. I'm not being sarcastic or anything here BTW, this engine seems to include most of the others, and doesn't come up with the famous '20 records of 200000 that met your search' - crap that some do, or have a lot of dupes in it.
