Take a look at Protel knowledge base item 2215 (
http://www.protel.com/kb/default.asp ).
I was able to open the Altera Gerbers in CAMtastic, save them to new files,
edit the comment fields out (G04 coded lines), and then import them into
Protel 99SE (with SP6).
If you really need the Altera footprints instead of making your own from
scratch, Gerber import does work - with a little 'elbow grease'.
