2nd That. We use Protel. It's also very expensive. The newer versions are much slower than previous with more than 1 or 2 bugs but overall we like it. > Hmmm.

Few of the packages have netlist compatibility with other packages. There is limited support for EDIF but that standard is no longer supported. I just pulled down the free version of Eagle and it dosen't appear to be able to export the netlist to a specific format. (Granted I only spent 5 minutes looking) It does however export the netlist to a text file so filter could probally be written. How to handle library parts though will be another issue to work through. -- Richard A.
