Orcad --> Protel?

[Matt Henson]

I know I'm a little late to the party but is there any
need for layout help on the DIY-WB?  I have access to
OrCAD and PADS and some experience with layout. 

As for cheap layout tools your best bet is the limited
version of Eagle.  Or ExpressPCB but that tool is
pretty limited and it doesn't import netlists from
schematics.
