PCB developers assistant software

By the way, my email is snipped-for-privacy@gmail.com

They're probably out of business. Web sites and e-mail addresses often live on well past the demise of a company or individual...

What's the name of the compnay that made it?

It's possible -- either that or he has a problem with me emailing him more than "once".

That German attitude you know.

It's waldherr.com

I have some other things I may try -- I HAVE to get a copy somewhere.

(I'm half German so takes one to know one).

Please, if anyone ever sees this please get in touch.

Do you speak the language? Perhaps you could call up directory assistance in Muenchen and talk to him directly:

Andreas Waldherr Perlacher Str. 31 81539 Muenchen, Germany

His web site says some e-mails had been lost lately...

...or perhaps try FAXing him at the number on the web site...

I've done all the obvious.

All I can hope for is that a copy shows up on Ebay or something.....or someone sees this post.

If all you did was copy the folder, then the origional should still be intact. Have you tried the origional to see if it still works? Do you get any window or error pop up that might give a hint as to why it will not open? When programs install, there are usually entries in the registry that point to where files are located. If you move those files, the registry entries are no longer valid. Do you know how to search through the registry? Another thought, If installation programs are available on the net, then there is the possibility that the keys needed to install them are also on the net. Try looking for a "crack" or "key generator" for your program. seeing as you already bought it, it's not like you are stealing.

Ah, the joys of having your work product in someone else's proprietary file format

--exacerbated by choosing a niche player.

If folks would find one of the biggies that could import the format of the obscure player BEFORE plunking down their cash,

I commented on this paradigm before:

Compare and contrast:

In all fairness, in case someone searches -- Andreas managed to contact me.

One thing is for sure, PCB developers assistant is an EXCELLENT (and little known) program, very reasonably priced.

Better than anything out there for the money. FYI.

I see on their web site that they say they have had problems with emails going missing and that you should email them again.

There is no date associated with this statement.
