Author Registration: $95.00 Australian                                  
Special Requirements: 384K RAM and CGA, EGA, VGA or Hercules graphics.  
                                                                        
PCBREEZE II is a sophisticated yet easy-to-use tool for designing       
printed circuit boards (PCB).  It lets you create, view, modify, and    
output any one or two layer PCB of up to 300 square inches (using a 50  
mil grid system).  It has two text layers for each PCB layer and a      
common silkscreen layer.  Most operations can be performed directly     
through the keyboard or by pop-up menus.  Microsoft compatible mice are 
also supported.                                                         
                                                                        
Simply specify the component pads and use the cursor keys to draw the   
traces.  Pan and zoom to any part of the drawing.  Move, copy, or delete
any section of the art work.  Sections can be saved to disk to create   
libraries and be used repeatedly.  Design is simple with the use of its 
auto-routing facilities which allow an entire board to be routed by     
PCBREEZE alone, or interactively edited and autorouted to get precise   
control over the art work generated.                                    
                                                                        
Finally, the results can be output to a plotter or Postscript printer   
with the included plotting utility.  PCBREEZE II can also produce       
prototype quality plots on a Epson FX/LQ or compatible printer.

PCBreeze II  is an  easy to  use but  powerful PCB  (Printed
Circuit Board)  CAD tool.  This version of PCBreeze is being
distributed as  "shareware" -  it is  not in  any  way  free
software. You  may use  PCBreeze  II  for  a  limited  trial
period. If  you wish  to continue  using PCBreeze II you may
register PCBreeze and receive the latest enhanced version, a
fully printed  and bound  manual and  user support. For more
details on  registering see  the PCBreeze  II opening screen
and user  documentation. By  using PCBreeze  II you agree to
the terms  and conditions  set out  in the  software license
detailed in the PCBreeze documentation (in the expanded file
PCBREEZE.TXT).

Full instructions on the installation and use of PCBreeze II
may be  found in the compressed file PCBREEZE.KEP. To expand
the file  into a  readable form  use the  expansion  program
EXPAND.EXE. for example:

> EXPAND

will take  the compressed document file in the current drive
and directory  and will  create PCBREEZE.TXT  in the current
drive and directory. ( Note: there may not be enough room to
do this  on a  360k   5 1/4"  disk. If this is the case then
just make  a copy  of the  disk and  delete all files except
PCBREEZE.KEP and EXPAND.EXE and then expand the manual).

                             or
