My one customer refers to Protel as "Pro-Hell" if that's any indication.

Try Hi-Wire from Wintek.  Much better at doing what it does.  Uses a dongle
for copy protection, is DOS-based I believe.  It runs on all the 95 boxes
there, though, and the interface is pretty intuitive.

I use SuperCAD/SuperPCB from Mental Automation http://www.mentala.com and
I'm pretty happy.  Much cheaper, but less features.
