    The 6.x OrCAD products were available for a very short period of time and upgrades to the 7.x tools were readily available (at the time, which would have been around 1995 or 1996), so a relatively small volume of 6.x data still exists. If you don't have access to a 7.x installation to update the 6.x files, which might well be the case since the supported Windows Environments are also a long way from being supported, you could send the data to Cadence Support, or to a Cadence Channel Partner, and they should be able to get the data converted to a format compatible with current versions.
