         smash_megafile is a C program that will take a viewlogic
         megafile and extract the contents into a directory of the same
         name, with one file representing each element in the library.

     Sarlacc is an OrCAD to gEDA format schematic converter. This software is
     beta, so it still has limitations.


Look into the utilities held in geda-utils for more info.
