I just noticed that Orcad (10.5 is what I'm running, which I should
have mentioned previously) has an "export to EDIF" option.  Suppose I
were to export my design to EDIF, import it into gschem, play with it
there, and reverse the process...

Does an EDIF<->gschem translator exist?
Would it be ridiculous to write one?  (Anybody can step in here and
say, "Well, you could write one, but you would never get the library
interface to Orcad to work because they don't document the frozbazz
interface and that is absolutely required", etc...)
Would this be of use to anybody else in the universe?
Any other thoughts?
