Gentlemen/Ladies, Henry sent me a file off-line. It loaded into Protel 2.8 with no glaring problems. He cut it up for what I assume was a security issue so it was not a complete design. I did not respond sooner as I am waiting for his response. I suggested he get a demo of SE as I was able to read it into that, again no problems I could discern. I think his intent was to get his files to a more current operational status.
