I'm working with cad's from 88. I'm agree with you, but as Dwayne said, when you know all trick's with one and you're happy with, any change may be disastruos. So I like to do schematics in Orcad, but old dos one,( the newest windows version are just like natural calamities), and pcb's with Tango. (which have all the gerber, log and drill files you've mentioned ) But you make me curious, let's try a download from this site !
