Im not sure if thats true or not but I do know that there is a complete
specification for Protel V2.8 file format. Its in the manual and is about 12
pages long. Having this info could be a good starting point as I bet the later
formats would not be too much different.

Isn't there some Australian law that requires any software publisher to
publish their file formats? I thought I heard something like that years
ago - maybe it was just a rumor. If it is true, why doesn't some Australian
Protel customer call up Altium and demand the file format spec? Then
somehow it could be "acquired" by us non-Aussie Protel users? Why bother to
try to reverse-engineer a file format if you can get the spec?
If it isn't a law, it should be. In the US, too.
Please correct me if I'm wrong...
