At the risk of stating the obvious, are the Library files concerned of a more
recent version than Protel 99 SE?
You "should" be able to open any Library files which were created using any
*earlier* versions (of Protel), but with the possible caveat that the
footprints within them might require some tweaking afterwards (as alluded to
within other recent contributions to this mailing list). But I still wouldn't
be the slightest bit surprised if you encountered problems while trying to open
any Library files which had been created using any more recent version instead;
the format of such files probably would be of an "unexpected" nature to the Pcb
Library server provided with Protel 99 SE.
