Lines: 19 I saw the Wintek Board layout program at NCC and was impressed, I do not think it is better than say VersaTec's system but it is probably sufficient for ones to tens. The print quality of the PC layers (I saw it only working with two although the salesperson indicated it could do up to 8) was ok on the Houston Plotter but tended to smudge, the epson output was better, but would reccomend a new ribbon for any plots on their way to a mask maker. I suspect it would probably meet the needs of a small degign house that wasn't designing boards bigger than Multibus I, or S-100 size. I would hate to try to register a taped together mask layout that spanned three or four page widths on the epson. --Chuck -- -- Chuck - - - D I S C L A I M E R - - - {ihnp4,fortune}!dual\ All opinions expressed herein are my {proper,idi}-> !intelca!cem own and not those of my employer, my {ucbvax,hao}!hplabs/ friends, or my avocado plant. :-} ARPAnet : "hplabs!intelca!cem"@Berkeley
