Hi, A friend of mine is looking for PCB software references. Being not very aware of the matter, I'll try to transcribe what he told me the best I can. The products should be for industrial usage having characteristics such as very high component and line density and fine line drawing, as well as very good autorouting capabilities. He has no system plateform requirements. The PCB software he's actually using is Secmai's S-PCB on an Apollo. Secmai is a french company which went out of business last year. Their product, as I've been told, is one of the best on the market. The company sunk because of terrible marketing. My friend rates in his terms of overall performance and functionality: 1st) Secmai's S-PCB (100 %) 2nd) Valid (60%) 3rd) Mentor (40%) If you know, use, sell any PCB software, please send some e-mail refs directly to me. As usual, if there's any interest, I'll summarize on the net in a month, once back from vacation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eric Defferard INTERNET: deffer@uni2a.unige.ch BITNET: deffer@cgeuge51
