Fair enough. I'm not too bothered about the command line stuff, but perhaps you expect a shiny GUI? I'd almost be happier drawing schematics by writing a program... Also how do these programs go for maintenance? I imagine (in my naivete) that you design a board, get it fabbed and then find out it has a layout or circuit issue. How hard is it to adjust the schematic and redo the board? cheers peter -- http://peteg.org/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
