    <i>Holy poop!</i> It does EVERYTHING for NOTHING <i>{ed: not anymore}</i>
    . It won't run on *nix or anything less than NT (nope, it don't work on '98)
    but other than that, it appears to be a complete violation of the TANSTAAFL
    rules. <i>{ed: yep... now it costs.}</i> And the user forums have shown a
    certain lack of satisfaction with the program.

|[http://www.expresspcb.com www.expresspcb.com] || Pl || Li || Ar ||  The ExpressPCB
    Windows layout software makes designing PC boards simple for the beginner
    and efficient for the professional. Its standard Windows user interface uses
    all the familiar commands such as copy, cut, paste &amp; dragging. PC board
    manufacturing service delivers boards in 3 business days or less. Often orders
    for two boards cost under $100. They keep changeing the program and old files
    may not work (due to increased limitations on the placement of objects) in
    the new versions without some rework. See [http://..app/tci.htm TCI] which
    is just about the same and prints or outputs to Gerber / Excellon files.

|[http://bach.ece.jhu.edu/~haceaton/pcb/ bach.ece.jhu.edu/~haceaton/pcb/] || Pl || Li || Ar || Absolutely free (GPL'ed) PCB program which can work under any POSIX compliant operating system (eg. Linux) and can produce Gerber or PostScript files.
|-
|[http://www.labcenter.co.uk/ www.labcenter.co.uk/] || Pl || Li || Ar ||  They
    have a lite version "pic bundle" aprx. $149.00 includes schematic/simulation/pcb
    layout. You can write pic code for your pic schematic design and simulate.
    Even multi-pic,keypad,lcd display (really cool). Right now it can only simulate
    PIC1683/1684 (lite version limited to 1k program code), but it really works.
    They are working on more pic modules now. Will not produce Gerber/Excellion
    drill files only dxf, bmp, hpgl, tiff.
