Patrick, FWIW: Look for sarlacc_schem.c in the utils/src directory.
I used this as a template for a HiWireII to gschem translator project (never completed and abandoned due to other priorities).

Looking around, I couldn't find any documentation on the Orcad file format, so I tried exporting my design to an EDIF file and started writing a parser for that in python. I never got as far as outputting (or is it outing-put?) the design into the gschem format, primarily because I couldn't see the point. I had no guarantee that once I translated a design to gschem, edited it, and translated it back to an EDIF file, I would be able to import that EDIF back into Orcad. Not being able to see the light at the end of the tunnel, I abandoned the project, settling for the start of a parser that extracted some specific information about a specific design. I don't think it would be too difficult to resurrect the parser, and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel for a tool that would take an Orcad generated EDIF file and produce a gschem schematic (set), but I don't have any experience at all with the Orcad PCB tool. --wpd _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
