Well, I'll give my opinion. Given that other publishable and freely-viewable formats exist, I'd see no market for a Protel file viewer. If the viewer also allowed full access to the database (such as being able to see design rules, net assignments, etc.), *maybe* that opinion would change. I would not advise putting programming effort into this. Writing translators would be more fruitful, I'd think. For starters, writing a translator for Protel Schematic to OrCAD would be useful, and it is almost done. Protel will write an OrCAD SDT schematic, and the Protel library ASCII format files are *almost* the same as SDT schematic files. It should be fairly simple to cross the gap.
