Have a look at the web site:
http://www.pulsonix.com
It competes with products like PADS and Altium that cost twice as
much, has much better sup****t and is much easier to use. It even has
some features that I don't think they have, like RF track mitres for
microwave design and track following. It also im****ts designs and
libraries from all the other major packages.
