    Mike...
            We have been using SCICARDS software since 1976 to HELP design
    complex multilayer boards. Our present designs are 14-16 layer, SMT
    components (256 CQFP, 223 CPGA, etc) both sides, impedance controlled,
    high critical run count (20%-40% of routes), etc. We have resisted
    blind/buried vias and imbedded caps/res due to low production rate
    and soft electrically definition.
           Thru the years we have evaluated many packages including, but not
    limited to Calay, Cadnetix, Racal, etc and have been told that we were
    to transition over to Racal-Redac (6 yrs ago), Cadance (4 yrs ago) and
    Mentor Graphics (now???). During all these years, good old SCICARDS has
    just been sitting, out of the spotlight, knocking out designs while the
    sales guys do over the managers, who have never worked on a design, and
    convince them that their MAGIC PUSH BUTTON SYSTEM is better than sliced
    bread. I love you SCICARDS, can I have your Bud..oops wrong commercial.
            I may have gone into too much, but if you are evaluating a
    software package, get the troops in the trenches involved and DON"T
    believe anything the sales guy tell you....do it with YOUR benchmark.
            My 10 cents and off the soapbox. Have a good day and good luck.
