Is there anyway to import a netlist generated by OrCAD Capture into
Protel 99SE or DXP?  

OrCAD Capture can generate many types of netlists.  It seems like a
basic requirement that a layout package be able to important common
netlist formats.  Otherwise you must use the same package for schematic
and board design.  

From my experience with Allegro and PADS, I think of generating a
netlist in a schematic program and importing it into a PCB CAD program a
fundamental step in the design flow.  

How can Protel exist without having an easy way to import common netlist
formats?

Thanks!!

CJ
