Don't have any documentation for it, but it is plain text and somewhat simple. Here's what the output from Eagle looks like when you export a netlist.. (switched this message to HTML formatting to force the list below to honor the <pre> tag I inserted):

===== Text Import Begin =====<pre>

Netlist

Exported from Quickscan-0.1.2.sch at 3/12/2006 20:14:27

EAGLE Version 4.16 Copyright (c) 1988-2005 CadSoft

Net Part Pad Pin Sheet

GND U$1 1 GND(1) 1

U$1 12 GND(12) 1

U$1 A GND(A) 1

[...snip about 10 entries for the GND net...]

N$1 IC1 10 B 1

U$1 C PB0 1

X1 2 2 1

N$2 IC1 9 B 1

U$1 D PB1 1

X1 3 3 1

</pre>===== Text Import End =====

And so on. Pretty simple format, but quite different from what PCB wants.

(U$1 actually is not an IC by the way, it's a connector I forgot to give a name to :-)
