There is a public domain PCB routing program available for the IBM
and the Mac. I know that the original C source code is also available and
may facilitate portability over to the Atari ST or Sun. If you have the Mac
option for the ST, then it should be a snap.
The program can be found for the Mac on the anonymous FTP archives
at sumex-aim.stanford.edu it is listed under /info-mac/app/pcb-cad.hqx and
is encoded in Stuffit Binhex format (Mac compression schemes). It was
origanlly written by someone at Microsoft for the IBM (and unfortunately
is as tough to use as the IBM for a mac man).
If you cannot do anonymous ftp, I can send you this program. It
comes with small instructions and modified (for macintosh) source code in
three segments (router, display, and printer). It can output in various
scales to a number of mac output devices.
Hope that helps some....

OK, I haven't logged in for two days, and there are *MANY* requests
for the PCB designer program I mentioned earlier. It is much easier for me
for those interested to try anonymous ftp and obtain it from the archive I
mentioned (sumex-aim). I also found some information regarding the original
IBM PC version of the program. For those that wrote and mentioned (few
said this) that they didn't have ftp capability, I could upload the program to
the sci-electronics newsgroup, but it is a 410K uncompressed program, and
would take A LOT of bandwidth (Is that OK?).
Once again, the mac version is available via anonymous FTP from the
archives at sumex-aim.stanford.edu. It is listed under
/info-mac/app/pcb-cad.hqx. >>>> Please try anonymous ftp FIRST <<<<
The original IBM PC version is available from the author (from the
readme file) if you send a disk and Self-Address Stamped Disk Envelope
Mailer. He works for Microsoft, and his address as of (1/89) is:
Randy Nevin
1731 211th PL NE
Redmond
WA 98053
Hope that helps...
