        Yes you may have to make your own LED here, I can not remember what
was in the libs at download. Pity about all this isn't it :) Don't despair!
Wait until you have to do an SMT board!

Anyway to do this you may want to edit a component like an axial CAP and
call it LED.
Don't forget that Protel still has the hole sizes incorrect, but doing it
this way will get the padstacks correct.
As you have 29 out of the 30days left it would seem that you will have to
work like a little beaver to get this done. But I thought that you could not
save, nor print in this version. Can not remember I took a quick look at it
and decided to use the CD to stop coffee cup rings on my desk. You may want
to look at EASYTRAKS (Another quality product from Protel) It is completely
free
