I have tried 'xcircuit', 'oregano' for schematic capture, but they are not for professional use, I feel. Similarly, I tried 'pcb', but adequate help is not available with the program. So, frustrated. Recently, I downloaded the trial version of EagleCAD, and it looks to be better than the others. But extensive practice is required to work with it, and since it is only a trial version, the size of the Schematic/PCB is limited. So, I have no other choice but to maintain a win98 partion and use Protel for the professional grade PCBs. I thought I could use wine to operate the Protel from Linux, but that did not work out. Wine runs ok, but does not open Protel. -K.Ghosh ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
