That's what I thought, too. Then a kind user informed me where I could pick up a file format description, and I've uploaded it to the filespace for this list (which is a members-only space). http://groups.yahoo.com/group/protel-users/files/Protel99SE_PCB_ASCII_File_Format.pdf It's copyrighted by Protel; consider this a request for permission to distribute it. Apparently it has been available upon request to anyone who requested it. It was given to the user without any restriction on distribution beyond the contained copyright notice. If Altium requests that the file be removed, I'll have to do that immediately. But this file should have been available to all users from day one, and I'm disappointed that we were not informed that it existed. I'd say that it should have been on the distribution CD.... It does contain some information on limits of allowed field values. Better than nothing.
