It is now very usable, IMO...I rather like it nowadays. The current incarnation of PCB bears no resemblance to the version that I first used about five years ago...it is *fantastic* now. I'm not trying to sway you away from Eagle, but I do want to point out that the development pace of both the gEDA suite and PCB is very, very fast nowadays. To bring this at least slightly on-topic, I am midway through doing a board layout for Chuck Dickman's RX01/02<->parallel port interface in gschem and PCB. I did one layout for that circuit about a year ago, but with through-hole parts, and I'm nearing the point of swearing off through-hole...this board uses surface-mount components. -Dave -- Dave McGuire Port Charlotte, FL
