[sdiy] PC from print?

[James Patchell]

If you don't mind using an old DOS program (it does run under XP, although, 
I have never used it under XP to produce an PCB), Protel Autotrax (don't 
confuse this with another program of the same name)...is completely 
free.  I used this program for a long time to produce PC boards...in fact, 
several hundred, and it works quite well.  It is free from Protel...let me 
see if I can find the URL real quick....

Yes go here:
http://www.protel.com/downloads/index.html

Down at the bottom of the page you will find the links for Autotrax and 
Easytrax....Autotrax is the advanced version of Easytrax.

There are other free packages elsewhere...but this is the one I 
recomend.  However, it might be a bit tough without a manual, I never used 
the manual when I got the software.
