Hi group,

 

I know there is a number of PCB design software in the market, but I've been 
always using the old Tango (it's a MS-DOS program) software to do my easy 
boards. I thing is very easy and fast as it is designed to work every command 
with three keyboard touches.  And I like it as well because I have a lot of 
components personally designed in my libraries and designs I'd like to keep.

 

But now I'm having problems: with my new computer and operating system (W2000) 
the Tango program doesn't work and I need to generate Gerber files that Tango 
doesn't do.

 

So I thing is no remedy to upgrade.

 

Does anybody know of a PCB design program that is compatible with my old Tango 
libraries and .pcb designs? Does Tango still exist in a Windows version?  Any 
recommendations of a PCB design program that has the same working philosophy as 
Tango?

 

I've been trying Protel-99. It doesn't accept my libraries nor my old designs. 
And I don't like it (this is personal opinion, of course). 

 

Thanks.
