- Welcome to the PADS Evaluation Package. This
- Evaluation Package is unique, because it is
- the first PCB and schematic CAD program to be
- provided as Shareware. This means that the
- Evaluation Package is not simply a demo disk,
- but a complete, working copy of PADS-Logic and PADS-
- PCB. It contains all of the capabilities of
- the commercial program, and can produce a
- complete set of netlists and drawings. It is
- only limited in the size of the circuit you
- can create.
-
- With the PADS-Logic shareware package, you can
- create schematics, make plots, produce net
- lists, define library parts... all of the
- functions of PADS-Logic. With the PADS-PCB
- shareware package, you can automatically place
- your design, autoroute it, create photoplot
- outputs and N/C drill files... all of the
- functions of PADS-PCB. All drawings, library
- parts, and layouts you create can be read
- directly by the commercial versions of PADS-
- Logic and PADS-PCB, so every minute spent with
- this shareware is real work!
-
- The PADS-PCB and PADS-Logic Evaluation
- software are each supplied on a single disk.
- Additionally, there is a library disk shared
- by the programs.
-
- In the root directory of all 3 disks, you will
- find the file INSTALL.DOC. This file may be
- displayed or printed, and explains how to
- install PADS-PCB and PADS-Logic on your hard
- disk.
-
- The user manual for PADS-PCB is on the PADS-
- PCB disk under the name MANUAL.PCB. The user
- manual for PADS-Logic is on the PADS-Logic
- disk, under the name MANUAL.LOG. When you
- install the programs from the floppy disks,
- the user manuals are also loaded into the hard
- disk in the \PADSDEMO directory. If you do not
- have a published copy of the manual, you may
- create one by printing these files with the
- DOS Print command or a word processor.
