    Stella,

    You can download a shareware program from the CDN website, originally uploaded on Sept 13 2005,
    called AAdd_AttachFile. It will allow you to attach and detach files from Allegro BRD files, and it works
    with ASCII files as large as 78 mega bytes.

    The latest version (1.0G) can also be found on the following link:

    http://www.coppercad.com/AAdd_AttachFile.html


    Description--------------------------------------------------------------

    Allegro allows small ASCII files to be attached directly to the
    BRD file. CopperCAD's AAdd_AttachFile program, takes large ASCII
    files and breaks them up into small chunks, then attaches the
    small chunks to the Allegro BRD file, one at a time.

    AAdd_AttachFile may be used to attach ASCII text files to Allegro
    BRD files. Important files can be attached to your design, reducing
    the possibility that they may be lost or misplaced.

    Maximum individual file size that can be attached is 78 Mega bytes.
    Maximum number of characters in the file name is 26. Files must
    be pure ASCII, binary files, or mixed ASCII-Binary files cannot be
    attached to the BRD file.
