I am interested in buying a CAD/CAM package for performing PC Board
layouts, and was looking for any suggestions from people with some
experience at using one or more of these packages.  The CAD package
will run on an AMIGA 2000 system, but if I find much better software for
the IBM than for the AMIGA I will use this package on the IBM 
simulator board of the AMIGA.  I would like the
package to be able to handle multiple sided boards, be able to build
up a library of commonly used parts and their specifications, as well
as being able to handle a fairly general range of layout specifications.
I would very much appreciate opinions on ease of use, generality, 
price, ability to detect and correct errors, etc.  Thanks in advance for
any help or advice.
