Afaik there isn't one. Not bang for buck at any rate. Protel would rate on
my top 10 properly thought out applications of all time. There was teething
trouble when they moved away from their original Pascal code to (I think) C,
but it remains excellent and supplanted what Smartwire should have become
(all those years ago).

I have not tried the win-gui versions under (say) Win4Lin and would be
interested in your comments.
