PCB design shareware????

[gstopp at fibermux.com]

     Easytrax is what I used to make the ASM-1. It'll go up to six layers 
     of traces plus power & ground planes plus silkscreen on a max size of 
     32" by 32". The FTP download from the web site includes a utility 
     program to convert the .PCB file into Gerber files for each layer, so 
     you can have professional films made at a photoplotting house. I think 
     they moved on to Windows support so their old DOS stuff is free. Such 
     a deal.
     
     Hey maybe if we get a bunch of people on DIY to use the same artwork 
     package, we can email .PCB files to each other! I've already done the 
     Electronotes tri-square VCO and the 4-pole VCF but I don't want to go 
     out for PCBs until this ASM-1 thing blows over. If we pool resources 
     maybe we can come up with a fairly complete selection of modules.
     
     Just a thought....

I have used Easytrax. All manual routing, but good results, and easy to 
work with.
