I did try the no snap a couple times, but (and its been a while now) ISTR 
the DRC threw it out.  eagle is up at least a whole version since so 
that may have been fixed by now.  In any event, I can wire wrap it, 
soldering 1/16" stripped ends, more compactly than eagle can lay it out.
It was a nice experiment that I wound up superglueing additional pcb to 
before it worked well. I even bought 4 sq ft of 2 oz double sided board 
but then recalled the hell I had trying to solder both sides for lack of 
plated thru holes, so that is still in a drawer untouched. Point to 
point wire wrap doesn't have that headache. YMMV of course. :)

Cheers, Gene Heskett
