        Unfortunately (for my needs at least) most of the "free" packages have too
many limitations to be useful. I had an old DOS version of OrCAD/SDT once,
and it did serve me well for some years. Thanks to having it, I was able to
do a "competitive upgrade" to Micro Code Engineering's CircuitMaker Pro and
TraxMaker Pro (about USD $700 or so for the pair).

        So far, it has proven to be a good investment. The digital simulation
functions saw me through some tough problems in one of my classes, and
produced output that had both my instructors raising their eyebrows.

        I'll be happy to answer any questions if you want to know more.
