Try the opensource KiCad, there's a Yahoo user group
for it, or look for it on sourceforge. There are
Windows versions too.

As someone else mentioned, the 7106 is for display
only, you'll have to use a separate control circuit,
using the same temperature signal. Not really hard to
do unless you're an absolute beginner.
