Not to be a critic but that should have read " No use giving anyone money

Yes  -my reply to Dennis (who also spotted my mistake...) seems to 
have vanished, but here's the outline-
Specctra 10.2 works well, and routes boards to completion that just 
cause Protel's autorouter to sit still, doing nothing, or route 10% of the 
tracks very badly, then sit still, doing nothing. Very disappointing - and 
the DXP router seems to be just as useless on dense boards. (both work 
OK on easy boards, but if a board's easy enough that Protel's router can 
complete it, my customers want it smaller / cheaper rules / more 
functionality / fewer layers (or all of the above))

> Specctra gave us a very good price to upgrade from V7.1 to 10.2...

I'm not sure that 10.2 is a great improvement over 7.1 (or it wasn't 
vastly better than 8.x, I just needed some ore layers, which forced the 
upgrade)
If you want to send me a .dsn and a .do, I'll throw it at 10.2 and you can 
see if it's worth the money. After all, no point in giving Cadence money 
that could be spent on beer :)

Thank You, Steve.

Do you mean Protel Router can't complete on Dense Board? Specctra gave us a very good 
price to upgrade from V7.1 to 10.2...

Yes - works fine. (Still the same old via hole size issues). I was forced to 
give Cadence a pile of money, since Specctra's autorouter still can't 
compete on dense boards :(
