I spotted a good little pcb design package on ebay.
It is only 9-99 and has an autorouter amongst many other things.

PCBCAD17 pcb cad design software.

You "spotted it"? It seems you are selling it.

I still spotted it on ebay, no lie there.

Stop whining.

For 9-99 you are getting a bargain, it is sold on the manufacturers website
for 199-00

It's true Randy, if you google it, it's being sold all over the place for between $10-$30, mostly quoted in pounds - HMM at second look it looks like several duplicate E-bay listings.

How did you find the OEM site? I only found the E-bay listings?

YOU ARE SELLING IT ON EBAY... how is that "spotting it?"

You don't think that seems misleading, to join a forum to post about something you spotted on ebay, and not mention you are the one selling it?

And what whining? I am just calling it as I see it.

I wrote the software PCBCAD17 over about 15 years.

It started off as 2 versions PCBCAD1 an EGA graphics version and PCBCAD2 a VGA graphics version.
PCBCAD2 was 330,000 lines of assembler code.

These were sold by Maplin electronics until Windows arrived and then they stopped selling it.

In the meantime I kept using the software and adding to it as tiem went on going upto about version 9.

PCBCAD10 was the first Windows version and was written using the wonderful Delphi. This was basically the Assembler code converted into Pascal.

I never sold this but used as an electronics Engineer.

Early in 2006 I started selling PCBCAD16 on ebay for a few pounds just to move it.

In around March 2006 I converted all the Delphi Pascal code into C# for the >NET framework by Microsoft.

I hope this gives you a bit more background about me.
