Re: [PEDA] Orcad Library Importing
If you ask Parallel Systems (www.parallel-systems.co.uk) very nicely they
might send you a free Orcad "Lite" disc. The Orcad Capture on that is free
licence and seems to do most things that the full version does.

Terry,
There is an article at Premier EDA Solutions's site "Migrating data from
OrCAD SDT/386+" that explains all necessary deails:
http://www.eda.co.uk/download/orcadrev2.pdf
Decomp.exe is OrCad's utility - part of OrCad SDT III/IV package.
I'm not sure whether it's available as a standalone software.
It is used to convert OrCad libraries form binary format to ascii.
I still have OrCad IV installed on my computer so I may convert the
library for you - just send it offline.
Some time ago we moved from OrCad IV to Protel and I converted several
old projects.
My experience is that going through OrCad Capture as a "transfer tool"
produces much better results than importing directly from OrCad SDT.
The only problem is that you need an access to OrCad Capture.
I used to have such an access and it was great - it saved me a lot
of post-import cleaning.

Re: [PEDA] Orcad Library Importing
Terry, DECOMP.EXE is a utiity provided by OrCAD I think. At least in OrCAD SDT III times it was so I remember. It is used to transfer OrCAD librarys back into an ASCII readable form which then is recognized by Protel.

Any ideas where I can aquire this DECOMP.EXE? Dunno about DECOMP but watch out for the OrCAD parts option when you open up P99SE schematics. OrCad ports are fixed length and I think that P99SE sets this option when an OrCad import is done. It stays this way until you uncheck it. This can break P99SE schematics by disconnecting ports. I think this is correct, isn't it?
