just found this in another newsgroup:
Stef Mientki
Schematic capture/simulation/pcb/vizualization software.

I am interested in making AutoTRAX EDA open source. Are there any
developers interested?

www.autotraxEDA.com

AutoTRAX is a complete, fully featured and totally free electronics d=
esign
system which includes schematic capture, simulation, PCB design, 3D
visualization and CAM. You can take your design from concept via sche=
matic
capture through to PCB and final manufacture. Drag parts from the par=
ts
library onto one or more schematic pages, connect them together and a=
dd
virtual instruments such as function generators and oscilloscopes to
simulate and verify your design. Next use the integral PCB Design Wiz=
ard to
create your PCB. Use the auto-layout and auto-router tools to help yo=
u
complete your design. You can use the forward/backward annotation fun=
ction
to ensure design synchronization between schematic and PCB. Finally v=
iew
your PCB in 3D before it has even been manufactured and generate Bill=
 of
Material Files, Gerber plot files and 2D/3D CAD/CAM files.
