electrical wiring software

Hi everyone, there used to be an old dos program where you could design a wiring diagram (light switches, etc) and then test it. If you did a simple switch to light. you could actually turn the switch on and the light would light if you wired it correctly. this was a cute little program that worked very well. I am looking for something simular in the windows environment. Can anybody help?
Thanks,
Jenny

I used PSpice for my EE classes at the U. It's probably a bit much for what you want to do, though.

Do you still have the program? With Virtual PC or any other virtualization program, you can run old DOS programs from within Windows (or Mac OS or Linux).

Thanks, Marc. Am I a creature of habit? I'ts 6:30am and I'm drinking coffee.

I've played around with Basic Electrical Troubleshooting but haven't really put it through it's paces. A free trial is available from the above site.
