The software does what it says in the advertisement. If it didnt I wouldnt have had 500 plus satisfied customers.

The software has been developed over 17 years. The first version was 330,000 lines of assembler. It was later converted to Delphi Pascal and then a couple of years ago to C#. Loads has been added as I have found a need for new functions.

That doesn't mean it necessarily does it as well as its competitors. :-) You'll find me on here all the time whining about what crap ORCAD Capture is, but I would admit that, indeed, it "does what it says in the advertisement."

I'm sure that your product is worth the very low price you're charging.

But surely you'd still like to increase sales? If only takes 10 minutes to put up PDFs of your user manuals on your webs site.

If it's really as good as you suggest it's probably a bargrain at ten times the current price!

No, you are just a spammer trying to trash your competition.

But I am a non profit making outfit. The software makes enough money to pay for PC consumables. The software is sold at way under its marketable value. I dont really want to sell masses of software as it is now just a hobby. I was a pro electronics and software engineer for 25 years and this is just to keep my hand in.

My post would only be spam if I was making a living from the software and I am not. If people want to take advantage of the very low price then great, if not I wont lose any sleep over it.

It doesn't work that way. As far as I'm concerned at least commercial spam is simply a rather large subset of the total.

I dont need to trash the competition. The competition does it just fine on its own. Had loads of people come across to me from numerous CAD packages.

They know that with me they will be fully supported. I am happy to spend time with customers to help them, many other companies dont want to know once they have your cash !

Hi Marra,

OK, understood.

You might look into a couple different classes of licenses -- dirt cheap for personal use, more expensive for commercial use. Even if you're not interested in the extra monies from the commercial use licenses, you could donate it to a charity of your choosing and benefit someone without the commercial user batting an eye at the higher price.

The idea was that you'd stick the PDF user's manual on that same web site where you're advertising the software. If you were to post it on alt.binaries.sci.electronics (just ONCE! :-) ), that would be perfectly appropriate too.

Heck, just e-mail me a copy... I'm j k o l s t a d 7 1 @ y a h o o . c o m ; I'll be happy to stick it on a web site myself if you'd like.

If you get something for nothing then its bound to have problems.

Select the grid you need. Click the "Move" icon, press and hold "CTL" then left click the off-grid item. It will jump on to your grid. I use this a lot in package editor to move pads that were initially placed on a metric grid that I later decided to place on a "close enough" division (1/2, 1/4, 1/8, 1/16) of the default 0.1".
