Hi Jim,

I'm not sure how good it'd be for stripboard, but I've been using Diptrace schematic and layout software for several years now and I'd recommend it highly.
It's way more modern-feeling and logically arranged compared to something like Eagle, which is just painful to use, IMHO.

Whilst it's not expensive compared to others (Orcad! Yikes!), they also have a free version with some limits, and have recently introduced a Mac OS X version.

Have a look and see what you think.

HTH,
