I sort of have the same trouble with very odd behavior in P99SE and xp. Our
office recently had a couple of Dell comps with logitech wheel mice arrive and
have caused heaps of trouble.

is pointing at a secondary link or even a second (possibly backup) copy

Thank you very much for the clarification, and the assurance that any new
technology will in fact be distrubuted to DXP users in the DXP Service
packs.

Hello All,
It appears that the nVisage launch announcement may have caused some
confusion.
nVisgage is a subset of Protel DXP so all DXP users will receive any new
nVisage technology (VHDL Sim etc - see the website for details) in the next
service pack of Protel DXP.
nVisgage can be viewed as th

inflation argument - if inflation was a factor, why does hardware (real
physical stuff) cost less than ever and software (real physical stuff ==

been asking for. eg Schematic sans PCB.

I could be wrong, but after viewing the listed website link, I thought the

portion of the current DXP. Although nVisage is a bit more than just the
schematic, it does not include any PCB tools at $2,995.00. I will have t

OK guys and gals, by now many of you have received the announcement of
Altiums new product:
nVisage, which can be seen at: http://www.nvisage.com/
They call it nVisage DXP, and at first glance it appears to be a schematic
capture package and simulator to front-end Altiums other products.

Same here.
I refuse to rely on unreliable protection. I prefer to work without a net in this
situation, because I won't be lulled into any false security.
Zero virus infections in almost 20 years online.
