PCB is based on Gtk or Lesstif.  There is a native Gtk for Windows
(using MinGW, not Cygwin), which PCB uses for Windows support.  The
Lesstif GUI works under OS/X's OpenMotif.  Either GUI works (your
choice :) under *nix.

Someone's working on porting it to the Amiga (again), too, using
ReactOS.

We've been busy this last year!

I calculated once that PCB could do a board that was 0.25 miles to a
side, at 0.000010" resolution.
