I have been searching but I am not finding a lot of good info on this. Most of
the stuff out there expects you to 1. know the tasks and 2. have the conversion
files. My problem is also that I have a mix of Orcad version files.. Some of my
files are 6.x and some 9.x Orcad had a bad habit of versioning up and not
directly supporting prior versions. You had to recompile everything. I am able
to view the 9.x designs with a demo pspice product I found on the web but I
have not found a way to view the 6.x files. I do not have any of the original
disks anymore. So my only hope is to find a way to convert them. So I ask
again, if anyone has any ideas, or a direction to go in, please let me know.
