Protel still crashes on a machine running Win 95, which is strongly NOT recommended. I also have it on a machine running Win 2000, and it is much more reliable. Can't clearly say this is Protel's fault! > As for not using > the bits that crash, I find the inability to print, save or load a file a > bit of an inconvenience.

Some print drivers have trouble letting you change colors for multilayer color plots. That seems to be a real bug. I print on both black/white laser printers, color inket printers, and old pen plotters. I save and load files VERY often, never had ANY trouble at all with this. Even when Protel crashes with illegal oparation (on Win 95) I can STILL save the file, and it is OK! > > A newer machine was bought for a 2nd engineer.

Well, our IT guy downloaded all current revs to Win 2K, ands we are running SP5 on Protel, and it seems very stable, as stable as anything I've seen on a Microsoft OS. (I also use Linux, and it runs 70 days between power failures.)
