Autotrax: History & Overview

Autotrax is a software application for MS-DOS. It was designed by Protel Systems, now Altium, and was one of the first professional printed circuit board computer-aided design (CAD) applications available for IBM PC compatibles. It was also sold in a version with fewer features as Easytrax. Both later became freeware.
