Yes, as I recall OrCad has always been on the pricey side.  I still have 
my old DOS copy of it.  There were some guys that broke away from OrCad 
I believe who wrote the WinDraft/WinBoard duo from Ivex. I did a number 
of boards with that package however I always had to give the board house 
a note about the fact that the Gerber files always ended up with the 
design in a strange quadrant or something like that.  Nowadays there are 
free Gerber viewers/manipulators.
