And - for the record, I do not have access to Altium myself. I've never actually sat in front of it and driven either, but I do have some guys helping who can produce me test files to play with.

I have never signed any Altium EULA, so if there were any conditions there about not reverse engineering file-formats, I am not bound by them. -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!)
