+XCircuit is a program for drawing publishable-quality electrical circuit
+schematic diagrams and related figures, and produce circuit netlists through
+schematic capture. XCircuit regards circuits as inherently hierarchical, and
+writes both hierarchical PostScript output and hierarchical SPICE netlists.
+Circuit components are saved in and retrieved from libraries which are fully
+editable. XCircuit does not separate artistic expression from circuit
+drawing; it maintains flexiblity in style without compromising the power
+of schematic capture.
+
+XCircuit is flexible enough to be used as a generic program for drawing just
+about anything, and is competitive with powerful programs such as xfig.
+It is especially good for any task requiring repeated use of a standard set
+of graphical objects, including architectural drawing, printed circuit board
+(PCB) layouts, and music typography.
