"Stripboard Magic" program?

[Fred Newton]

Several years ago I downloaded a handy freeware program called
"Stripboard Magic".

After you edited in your cicuit, it would produce a graphical
illustration of optimal component layout and links for standard
"stripboard" (Veroboard).

I heard the supplier is no longer active. Can anyone tell me where I
can find a copy to download, etc., or perhaps zip one to me?

Stripboard Magic can still be found via Google - for example :

http://web.onetel.net.uk/~stuorguk/StripboardMagic.zip


I found Stripboard Magic so useless that I wrote my own stripboard layout
program, called VCAD.

VCAD lets you simply place components, or you can import a netlist from
Protel or TinyCAD etc and do a full connectivity checked layout.

Its freeware - I use it a lot - and development continues.

Agreed entirely.

I will try it out ASAP, and TinyCAD as well.
