Hello,

I need to upgrade all my PCB SW and FreeCPB looks OK for me
(even though it forces me to stay on ms-windows).

I have run a lot of ms-windows software on Wine (linux).
I have not tried FREEPCB yet, and would be interested to
hear how that goes. If you prefer linux, it is worth a try.

However it's only an element in the tool chain,
so what free software can work (interactively if possible)
with FreePCB ? I've been using an old EAGLE (the "gratis" version)
too long and it does not fit my growing needs anymore...

That much is sure, all file format in FreePCB make sense
and are hackable to a large extent. I have been doing some
direct editing of board layouts. It works together with CVS
great, and diff's make sense.


thank you for your help,
yg

Groetjes Albert
