Hello there Kicad users.
I am very newcomer and as such I need your help.
I have tried to convert some Orcad libraries for tubes but no sucess.
First I used liborcad2eeschema but I always get a file produced wich is
empty. From win XP I run the "cmd" and then the liborcad2eeschema
tube.src cctube.lib- no sucess.
Then, when I joined the kicad-users, I found the utility Libtool kicad, but
again when I ran it I get the same results. Both intermediate (*.src) file and
final file (*.lib) are empty.
As I work only with tubes, I definately need some library to work with.
Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong or where to get the needed libraries.
Again thanks all very much in advance for your time and help.

Hi, Ian the group moderator here. I have edited this post because then entire
library is attached - it is far to big to email to everyone in the group. If
you want people to look at files this big the best way is to post it to the
group files sectiion then refer to it in an email.
As to your specific problem, I have looked at the library you atteched - you do
realise they are all spice descriptions, not component descriptions - which
probably explains why you were unable to convert them. Here is just one example
of one component to illustrate what I mean.
