Subject: Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Winboard pcb layout vs. Dell 1720 laser printer

From: Bob Huish <bhuish@...>
Date: 2010-01-19

And for WinDraft too.

I have many old projects and can't print them out. My old system died
and when I tried to install on a win98 system it said that the Key was
out of date. I tried every Key that they sent me too.

Thanks
Bob
