There's been a DOS TSR available for PCAD for some time now.
I assume it also ports to other dongles. Like you say, It's
no doubt intended for the less aggressive dongle type.

I use OrCAD for DOS. If they're using dongles now, It only confirms
my belief that OrCAD has started to slide downhill since Durbetaki
stepped down as Pres. CEO.
