Does anyone have a document that described the Pads Ascii file format?

I am a Protel user trying to import a large Pads PowerPCB V3.5 Ascii
file. It imports 99% correctly, all except the split planes. If I
understood the Pads Ascii data a little better (particularly the x and
y coordinate values and the various split plane settings), I am pretty
sure I can tweak the file to get it to import 100% properly.
Thanks,
Andy

Andy,
I don't have the document to send you but all PADs installs
have either a Help file or a separate document file that
describes the ASCII format completely. Ask a PADs user to look
for it for you. I believe that these days it is in the Help
system somewhere, used to be it was a separate document found in
one of the install directories.

Sincerely,
Brad Velander

Brad,
Yes, that is what I'm asking in this message - for some kind and
generous PADS user to post or send me the file that describes the PADS
Ascii format.
Andy
