I don't know how cheap/free you might be looking for, TANSTAAFL. But for something around $350/seat you can get schema from Omation Inc. It works *very* well as a schematic editor, producing netlists, Bill's of material, etc. There is an object editor for adding your own chips, and a library system. We have been using it at the University of Delaware, Department of EE for about 6 months, and have several 20-40 drawing projects in the works using it. It does not have a PC board layout program, or a simulator with it. We think it worth the money for the ~5 locking devices we purchased for it. Updates come frequently, bug reports (and we have only nits to report) are listened to and repairs effected. I have no connection with Omation, except as a satisfied customer. Similar products start at orders of magnitude greater price. It is not a set of simple things to write, and commercially, the market is not as big as for say a spreadsheet. You can reach Omation at 214/231-5167 1701 N.

I have the source for the pcb layout software posted a year or so ago.
I am including it's README fiel below. If you want it email me (please
put PCB EDITOR in the subject field). I will save requests for a week
or so and then if there are a lot I will post the sources otherwise I
will mail them to each requester.

Prefer (but not a must), something that would work with a Bauch & Lomb
( AKA Huston Insturments) DMP- 29 eight pen plotter, or HP 7474(?).

Kick the habit: ask the American Lung Association about their
"Freedom From Smoking" class. It worked for me, the wife, and 75%
of the class. What a differance! Its GREAT!
