I'm looking for a free version of an auto-router or/and a program to draw layouts for printed circuits. Or is all this type of programs commercial? Please answer by e-mail. -- -- Joergen Haegg jh@efd.lth.se postmaster@efd.lth.se System manager @ efd 046-107492 Lund Institute of Technology Sweden

Some time ago somebody posted the diffs to make Randy Nevin's pcb.arc run on the SunOS. Well I've got his program running on the Macintosh (not very Mac-like, but it runs), the pcbprint was chanced to print the circuit inside a window and filter keydown events . Everything was done on a Mac Plus (no color) with ThinkC 4.0 Question : if there is interest, where can I post them. Carlos Bazzarella. Univ. of Waterloo.

Sorry for wasting net-bandwidth with this, but it seems I can't reach the author directly. ......................................................................... I'm very interested in your version of the program. I've been looking for a long time for a cheap, or even better: free, program on the mac to make PCB's. Where to post this program: hmm, there are some places that come to my mind: 1) Make the program (preferably including sources) available for anonymous ftp on your site, if that is possible. This is possibly the fastest way of making a program available. 2) Send it to an appropriate Usenet-group; in this case comp.sys.mac.binaries. 3) Send it to a large international ftp-site, for instance sumex-aim.stanford.edu in the U.S.A. or nic.funet.fi in Europe (I don't know about the pacific area). I don't exactly know how you should do this, but I believe you can upload anything you want to nic.funet.fi in a directory, ehh , mac/incoming . 4) Send it by mail to anyone who would like to have it. This might be a big job to do 8-). Options 1 and 3 are of course only possible when you have access to anonymous ftp. As is usual in the macintosh transporting world you should StuffIt1.5 the program and binhex4.0 it. Hoping to see the program soon, yours sincerely, Luc Cluitmans.
