PC boards

But I take it that none of these programs are autorouters - you still have to 
draw in the tracks yourself?

PADS Software and Protel Software have freeware versions of their
DOS-based schematic capture & PCB layout software. The PADS version is
an older version of PADS-Logic and PADS-Work for DOS, limited to 300
connections I believe, and Protel's version is a slightly stripped-down
version of their old Protel Schematic and Autotrax for DOS. The software
is definately worth checking out.
