This program is able to convert the OrCAD netlist format into a script file
that Eagle can read: the original thing is that into the script file there are
the instructions to load either the netlist than the electronic packages, that 
will be loaded automatically into the Eagle board.
You don't need to add them by hand! Names, value and packages will appear 
automatically in the Eagle board ("Value" and  "Name" fields) and the 
components will be connected, following the OrCAD netlist, with wires.



INSTRUCTIONS:

You have only to do the netlist in Tango format, a netlist format that 
you can find in every OrCAd version (SDT, Capture, ...). Then:

1) Start NetToz
2) find your Tango netlist (for example   bcd.net)
3) highlight it and click on the "read Tango net" button 
4) check the list components and the netlist
5) find the Eagle library you want to use with the bottom textbox 
6) highlight it and click on the "Do Eagle Net" button

The script file will be saved with the same Tango file name but with the 
extension .scr
To use it you have to start Eagle, open a new board and load the script file with the 
command "SCRIPT": you will see appear componets and wires in the board.

IT IS IMPORTANT that the packages you have used in OrCAD are the same of your
eagle library: for each componet you must declare the name (for ex. "R22" or "U1"),
its value (for ex. "100k" or "CD4011") and its package (for ex. "R-500" or "Dil-14").
This is the only thing to pay attention!



INSTALLATION

Start the setup file and this is all! The original code has been written in Visual Basic
and beeing a Microsoft product... it needs a lot of libraries!
The exe file is only 35k but all the files are about 1.5M (!!!!)
