I have a licensed copy of Electronics Workbench with the original disks,
manuals, etc. that I would sell cheap.  It is a great program for doing
digital, analog, or mixed signal spice simulation.  Only problem with it is
they made one very major bonehead move when they wrote the software.  I got it
mainly becase I needed a schematic entry program that would output a netlist
that was compatible with my Traxmaker autorouter.  Being mainly a Spice
simulation program there are no PICs in the parts library since they can't be
simulated.  Since there are also no other 18 or 28 pin DIP parts either I can't
do a schematic of a PIC circuit.  Now I have $300 software that is totally
useless to me.

You can define custom parts on the software, but they won't output in the
netlist.  Unfortunately, I was about 5 days past the 30 day return period
before I had a cance to use it and they refused to take it back.  Therefore I
bad mouth their software any chance I get.  Now how many new sales have they
lost?

While on the subject, does anyone use Circuitmaker?  Does it have the same
problem?  I wouldn't think so since they make Traxmaker also and have more of
an interest in a program that is usefull for schematics as well as simulation.

Actually my favorite is my old Dos version of OrCad.  I can draw a schematic
with my keyboard 5 times as fast as as opening menus and dragging parts around
with the mouse in any Windows schematic program I have used.  If there was only
a way to make the netlists work with Traxmaker.
