The sad story is that you can't easily move back and forth between Allegro
and Protel.
You will have to use a third party translator to move the
netlists. Schematics and board layouts are even more complex; the Allegro
files have to be dumped on the Allegro end to specially formated ASCII
files which then can be somewhat translated by software such as RSI's CAMCAD.
You can view Allegro files with a free viewer that can be downloaded from
the Cadence website - but, even that is limited to newer versions of Allegro.
