AW: PCB CAD software (was: Re: press-n-peel: any experiences?)

[Alex Stettler]

Hello

As a swiss hobbyist, I can recommend you Protel 98. It includes a schematic
editor, from where you can directly make your PCB and optimize it in the PCB
editor. It costs about 5000 US$. There is a free but not so fine way, to get
Protel 98.
Anyone who wants to know how, please e-mail me private.
