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.
