Larry,

How 'bout sharing a little more info about this gem with the rest of us?
I've downloaded WinDraft and WinBoard, but WinDraft locks my system, and
WinBoard is seemingly unstable-- if you click on a part in the module loader
that *would* bring your board over the (100) pin limit, *if* it were placed
on the board, but instead click on cancel, WinBoard thinks that there are
more than 100 pins and won't let you save your file.  Same thing if you go
over the limit then delete a module which brings you back under the limit--
won't let me save or print my board.  This has caused me to get into the
habit of saving my file after placing EACH module.

Anyway, I'd like to know more about this program that you're using.  Sounds
like a good deal.
