It's included in my notes and links to some 60 ECAD programs at

Technically, a "breadboard" is any structure that you can mount components
on. This came from using Mom's chopping block to make your crystal radios
and stuff.

The plastic kind with all of the little sockets is more accurately called
a "protoboard".

LochMaster claims to be a developers tool for strip board
(VERO) projects for designing, documenting and testing a board.
This is a commercial program.
