Hi Stan,

How current is this path? I've done the PADS 3.x to Allegro translation in
the past, and it doesn't work all that well (you probably know this). I've
had Cadence do the convert also in the past (maybe they did the
PADS->Layout->Allegro thing, I don't know). Will this convert PADS 4.x or
5.x designs? Do you need to have a licence of Layout running for this to
work? I really, really like to get the .zip file from you to experiment
some designs through. I know a company here in San Diego (L-3) that could
really use a quick PADS-->Allegro conversion to justify going full
allegro.

If you feel it ok to send me the zip file, would you email it to:

Many appreciations.  :)
