actually we've been running a sweep here to see how long it took someone to
respond with the helpful advice 'get a different platform', these people are
invariably anarak wearers without a life, at least that's how they come
across down under.....

well, I've done my best on this thread by giving an irrelevant URL to MAC
PCB design (not ckt drafting...blush!) but I have since found that people
use various tiny CAD progs and make up symbol libraries. A number of symbol
libraries exist on CD rom, usually with other 'technical' grahics.

If I had to perform this task , I would scan a page from one of those 'learn
to read circuit diagrams' books & then cut & paste using one of those Mac
drawing/illustrating progs....... but on aesthetic grounds I actually prefer
a carefully hand drawn one.

BTW, I have several types of computers which shall remain nameless....but my
favourite one is a desktop EAI. (Analog, circa 1974)
