Tired of exporting images from EAGLE/gEDA/etc just to share a circuit on forums or email? AACircuit (translation) offers some pretty solid functionality for creating ASCII text based schematics in Windows. Just be sure to share your results in a monospace font.

Sweet - think I'll go tweet me some RC filters.

    Is there an equivalent program for Mac?

      I wish there was! I ran the program in windows via Parallels on my mac.
