sometimes needs additional symbols. These can be created or modified easily within the program and added to the custom and favorites libs. The file is saved in their native format, however the schematic can be exported as a 386k .BMP. The program supports multiple pages or sheets. I found an occasional bug in
ExpressSCH; they have since come out with a newer revision but I don't know if those were fixed. I learned how to use it fairly quickly, and I'm satisfied with its capabilities. The other prog, expressPCB allows one to design a 2 sided printed circuit board, however the idea is that the result is sent to the company where they make the boards and charge your credit card, which is how they stay in business.

Authors would be able to upload their code for a diagram, allowing it to be very easily modified. SVG output is as simple as it is with other TeX/LaTeX files, so that's not a problem. Have a look at the link for ".png files" to see some examples, the links for .m4 files will show the code required. The component library is also larger than pst-circ and the alternatives I've looked at and much better looking, in my opinion.

I'd suggest to add specific information about the usability of each of the presented programs for creating block diagrams. Some of the programs specifically intended for creating circuit diagrams have library symbols with detail definition (example op-amp with 3 basic pins - block diagram: only input
