I use Protel at the day job, the DXP version has so much crap
in it trying to be all things to all people, that most of it is bug
ridden.   For example there are multiple ways of 'printing',
but only one of them actual works correctly,
and its not the most intuitive.

Seems they have never tried to get Protel to fix something.
You report a bug, and maybe they release a service pack
a few months from now, or come out with something
new, such as the switch from Protel to DXP, that they
require you to pay for to get your bug fix.

I know where to find the gEDA developers, where do
I find any of the people developing Protel?
