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

2010-01-19 by Bob Huish

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out of date.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
