How about Robot Room's Copper Connection?

It can read ExpressPCB files and can create Gerbers from them as well as create PCB's from scratch.

They have a Home Edition (free but no Gerber or Excelon), A Studio Edition for 49.00 with Gerber and Excelon , and an Ultimate Edition for 99.00, that outputs in open text format.

It looks like the Home Edition can print out direct to a laser for transfer printing with mirroring capability or direct to paper scaled 1:1 for positive/negative use.

Limited to two layers AFAIK but seems quite easy to use. I found the program when looking for a way to convert a design that I found on-line done in ExpressPCB to Gerbers

so I could import them into SprintLayout6.0 and edit the PCB.

Have anyone tried the free Orcad Lite version?
I have just stumbled across it and would like to know if it is any good.

It feels funny how much they stress that their usage license does not expire:

--- Quote ---Unlike other free or trial versions of CAD software, access to OrCAD Lite does not expire. You can continue to use the lite version for as long as you want even after you upgrade to the full OrCAD suite.

I wonder whether the web page has always been like that, or whether they have updated after a certain CAD package has changed its licensing scheme  :P

I think we have to differentiate here, two groups, EDA for professionals or hobbyists.
