Viewlogic Workview is what we use here at HarrisBPD.  They have
nicely integrated Schematic capture, Digital simulation, PLD development,
Analog Spice, and even PCB component placement.  They are remarkably
bug free and easy to learn.  I am more productive with WV than Orcad even
though Orcad is also a neat package.  Workview is quite expensive
(costing thousands of dollars for non-educational use) but companies
have done some amazing things like develop 32bit CPU silicon with it.
Please get the 386package due to more features than the 286.

A less expensive set would be the Tango series.  I like Orcad's schematic
better though.
