I am running Tango Pcb on linux LXLE dosbox V0.74. It works 100%. Can make Gerber plots and read them with Gerbview 7 that runs on windows 7. My old Tango produce gerber files in RS274D (separate aperture file needed for the old system.) With Gerbview 7 you can xport that file as RS274x the new system. PCB Design Software. You can use any software you like, as long as it can produce a PDF of your board. If it can print to paper it can print to a pdf printer driver. Our hole recognition software will take care of the rest. You could even use Corel Draw or Autocad - no problem just print to PDF995 a generic pdf printer driver.
It may not be appropriate to bring up the old thread, but since I have the same problem of trying to squeeze some more life out of my Tango packages (PCB/SCH). Tango in full screen 1280x1024 works well on Win98 and with some EMM had no problem handling all of my projects. As maintaining a Win98 PC is getting inefficient, I want to shift Tango to an XP system and for that purpose set up a virtual machine with VMware (WIN98 as guest OS to run Tango).
BUT: I could not get it to run anything else than 640x480, which is clearly insufficient. The Tango-VESA drivers that work on WIN98 don't get along with the SVGA installation VMtools offer. Does anyone know how to convice Tango in a VMware environment to run 1280x1024?? Best regards, Andreas.
In general, to use a Tango file in newer Pr0tel software, you need to open the Tango file first in Pr0tel version 2.8 and then save it to ACSII file format. As I recall, the Tango file also has to be ASCII format to open it in Pr0tel 2.8. Pr0tel at one time advertised that they intended to include import converters for Tango, but for some reason they didn't when the newer versions were released.
When complaints were received about the new Pr0tel software not living up to the advertised promise, Pr0tel responded by sending those who complained free copies of version 2.8 to use as file translators. For anyone looking to convert the old Tango.pcb files, including the binary type, use a program named Rimu PCB v1.08 or newer. Klyuch aktivacii amc pro stock. I had the same problem and found that software was the only way to convert the.pcb binary to a gerber(.cam) file type for use with newer software programs. When you install the program you need to use the import option and select the tango file type. If you just double click to open a tango file you will get an error. You will then have an option to convert it to a gerber and a few other types that I cant remember. Once in a gerber format you can do anything with it.
The program is shareware and will work but wont save any files untill unlocked. Here is the site to dl it at: I know this thread is old but I could not find any info on this and thought I would post for anyone else that runs into this problem.
