Does anyone know of any pcb packages besides Allegro that can import Allegro board files?

Thanks, Clemens

There are, apparently, some converter packages out there, but they are

Expensive (IIRC, one package cost over k)
Flaky (because the data conversions are reverse engineered and there are no guarantees).

So, in summary, if you are asking 'Does anyone know of any pcb packages besides Allegro that can import Allegro board files guaranteed successfully?' the answer is no, as far as I know.

If you wish merely to view such board files, Cadence makes available a free viewer.
