Is it a freeware, no expire date, no limitation.

no comparison

Unfortunately, the new version leaves out many of the more useful routines of the older version and adds some trivially simple things that you could do by hand.

The new Appcad will not contain differential impedance calculations. To run the classic you must either boot to DOS or shut down to DOS, you guys running NT or WIN2K are out of luck!! XP you can still make a DOS boot disk I don't know if it will work wiyh NTFS file system.

flatulent,
Tell me please what are the useful routines that had been left out of the new version. As the old one is available, perhaps I'll download it. Thank you.

too long ago

Two port analysis
transmission lines and couplers
cascade noise analysis
spiral inductor design
impedance matching

What you will probably find is that the program will load and display the menu, but most of the routines will hang up part way through.
