version of protel for DOS.
To get the blue PNG of the PCB I go to windows, load the
PCB file into a cripple-ware demo version of protel for
windows. Then I zoom in to about 4x screen size. Cut-n-
paste into paint 4 times. Stitch them together.
The cripple-ness on the protel for windows demo is that
the save function is disabled. I'm glad they did that
rather than having a 30 day timed trial. I don't want
to save from it - I much prefer to do my layup in the
DOS version.
I have tried the newer version of Protel and have not
liked the loss of simplicity from the DOS version.
PLUS living in Australia if I used any CAD software from
another company, I would have the anti-protel police
come around to my house, beat me up and rape my dog.
