Re: [PEDA] Protel EDA Forum... was adjacent component placement D XP

2003-07-10 Thread Jason Morgan
I apologise to the administrator for implying that this list is not for
discussing DXP, of course
such topics are not banned and I did not mean it to read like that. I only
wished to indicate that
this list is no longer necessarily the best place for discussing DXP
operational issues.

I still think that the response from one of this lists members was uncalled
for and extremely unprofessional. If this guy is like this with people he
actually
meets I would not be surprised if he has trouble keeping jobs for long.

You have the logs, so you can tell better than me, but I don't think I've
ever
noticed a Protel ne Altium employee taking part in discussions
on this list using their 'Protel' identity.

On the other hand, the DXP forum seems to have much more feedback direct
from engineers at Altium.

For the record, this forum is dedicated to discussion of ALL versions of 
Protel software as well as EDA design issues and EDA software from other 
vendors.

As for drawing the attention of Altium's engineers, this forum enjoys a 
large following by members at Protel/Altium. The membership of this forum 
currently includes 21 protel.com.au subscribers and those span employees 
from the highest corporate level down through engineering and support.

If you are looking for a direct reply from Protel, their own DXP forum is 
probably the best place but you might find it advantageous to post to both 
forums as some already do.

draw potential

list.

We all know that DXP is (on the surface at least) very different to 99se,
and these questions
on how do I. come up all the time.  It is very important that Altium
are aware of
such discussions so that they can put effort into improving the
documentation.

I think other, (less aggressive) long term users of both lists will agree.

Mr Morgan,

Since when is this the Protel 99SE list?

For your future information, this is the Protel EDA Forum, as clearly and
explicity stated in the footer appended to each and every list message, and
kindly maintained by Techserv, Inc for the quasi-public dissemination of
issues related to any and all versions of Protel EDA software, including,
but not limited to P99SE...AND DXP.

I think I speak for a portion of this list (though clearly not all) when I
say that I would appreciate it if you would attempt to remember this before
spouting off erroneous garbage like the bull sheisa you post below. In any
case, I speak for myself.

Finally, I want to be clear to Dr Roberts that this is not the exclusive
territory of P99SE users, and Dr Roberts is welcome to post queries or
otherwise participate in this forum as she likes.

As Jason indicated, there is another forum, sponsored by Altium, which is
dedicated to DXP, but I feel the need to attempt to un-obfuscate the
distinction between these forums. Altium's is one which is a quarantined,
corporate sponsored list, with all of the implications that go with that
status. Techserv's is an open user's forum for ANY and ALL Protel EDA
products, regardless of any ignornat comments made by it's novice or jaded
participants.

thank you,

Andrew Jenkins

That statement cannot be read any other way than to authoritatively indicate
to readers and writers alike that they should not be posting any DXP related
topics to this group, thereby doing the work of Altium's executive board is
isolating the independent user's group from be able to openly scrutinize the
corporate mismanagement of this expensive EDA package.

I'll respect the Neo-Eurocratic (or should I say Plutocratic) nature of this
group and so leave, as I have realized that it is now thoroughly corrupted
by the same old-world scheming values that have caused so much strife there,
here, and elsewhere in the world. 

Your remarks were offensive to the truth, but it is also clear from the
response that you are in like company here. As with all things, one must
either embrace or avoid company of a particular sort. And in this case, I
will no longer attempt diplomacy to embrace this group, as its premise that

Re: [PEDA] Protel EDA Forum... was adjacent component placement D XP

2003-07-09 Thread Bagotronix Tech Support
Personally, I don't mind seeing questions about DXP on this list.  It's good
to know what the issues are with DXP, because it gives insight as to how
mature (or immature) DXP is, and if it's worth upgrading to.  I can't answer
any DXP questions because I don't have it, but I at least want to know of
what others are suffering (or triumphing) through.

That also goes for older versions:  98, 3.X, 2.X, Autotrax, etc.  All Protel
is fair game here, IMO.  And conversion issues (Orcad, PADS, etc.) too.

  explicity stated in the footer appended to each and every list message,
 and
  kindly maintained by Techserv, Inc for the quasi-public dissemination of
  issues related to any and all versions of Protel EDA software,
including,
  but not limited to P99SE...AND DXP.
 
  I think I speak for a portion of this list (though clearly not all) when
I
  say that I would appreciate it if you would attempt to remember this
 before
  spouting off erroneous garbage like the bull sheisa you post below. In
any
  case, I speak for myself.
 
  Finally, I want to be clear to Dr Roberts that this is not the exclusive
  territory of P99SE users, and Dr Roberts is welcome to post queries or
  otherwise participate in this forum as she likes.
 
  As Jason indicated, there is another forum, sponsored by Altium, which
is
  dedicated to DXP, but I feel the need to attempt to un-obfuscate the
  distinction between these forums. Altium's is one which is a
quarantined,
  corporate sponsored list, with all of the implications that go with that
  status. Techserv's is an open user's forum for ANY and ALL Protel EDA
  products, regardless of any ignornat comments made by it's novice or
jaded
  participants.
 
  thank you,
 
  Andrew Jenkins

   Firstly you posted to the wrong list, this list is for Protel
   99se, and not
   DXP,
   there is a separate list for DXP issues, see

Re: [PEDA] Protel EDA Forum... was adjacent component placement D XP

2003-07-09 Thread Bagotronix Tech Support
 I've got a question on Wrico Pens and Linen . . .

 : - )

Well, as long as we're going off the deep end, I have an old Toshiba P351
(circa 1986) 24-pin dot matrix printer (wide carriage) that still works
great.  But no W2K drivers exist for it.  Win95 has a Toshiba driver that
works well, but no equivalent for W2K.

Any suggestions how I might print my Protel 99SE stuff on the Toshiba
printer from W2K?  Don't say print to pdf - print pdf on W95, I already
thought of that.

And don't any of you dare to call my printer obsolete!  It's built like a
tank, way more durable than anything currently available in any current
technology (laser, inkjet, impact, etc.)!

Best regards,

I have a couple of Toshiba T1000's (and Toshiba MS-DOS 3.30) that might work
with it . . .

See what I mean about low SNR on this list... (now a dB lower with this 
comment)
