Unlike the big $$ packages, the gEDA developers are pretty good about avoiding "fixes" that are kludges hiding symptoms rather than actually fixing underlying causes. It seemed to me that one big $$ package I used years ago introduced a new bug for every bug they "fixed". I have not had that experience with gEDA. > > >> The big $$ packages sure can't compete here! > > Does 1500 USD/Seat count as big $$?

Or extract symbolic data from a schematic for analysis? Should I pay for a package that can't actually execute *any* of the project flows I use with gEDA, and locks me into a closed system? > John Doty Noqsi Aerospace, Ltd. http://www.noqsi.com/ [email protected] _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
