Does anyone have any suggestions or information about converting PCB or Schematic files from Eagle into other program formats? Or reading any from any other software into Eagle?
Any information related to Allegro, or Cadstar or Orcad or Pads or P-Cad, or just about any other format would be appreciated.
Thanks

Isnt this a bit like asking a VW salesman where you can buy a Volvo?
Yes, Im sure the support of the other apps will help you out.
Perhaps he only wants to have a test drive and will come back
afterwards, convinced that he will stay with what he has

Hopefully 
I've been down the Altium route myself, and Altium has some
nice function that Eagle can't do (yet), but even if Altium has dropped a
bit in price, the service fee for 1 year alone covers a separate full
professional Eagle license
I have even seen competing sales people trying to make fun of Eagle!
Having said that, being a programmer adds a LOT of value to Eagle. For
simple boards, this is not an issue, but to do advanced modern lauout with
it you need some programming skills imho.
I am VERY exited to see what v6 will be able to do
