Dear all, I would like to correct a typo in my earlier email. " Lunix " should have been " Linux ".

He lists on page 190 several reasons for selecting Eagle for his book. The reasons include: availability of a useful free version, relatively inexpensive to upgrade, sophisticated schematic and autorouting features, extensive part library, and capability to run on Windows or Lunix. However, the examples illustrated in this book are limited to simple single-sided or two layer boards. To explore advanced capabilities of Eagle for high-speed design, treatment of ground and power planes, or routing of differential pairs one needs to research other documentations.
