Conversion from Eagle to Kicad

 

Hello ,

I have a lot of schema under Eagle.
I try to translate Eagle schema to Kicad schema .
I use under Eagle " eagle2kicad_sch.ulp " version 0.3

When I read the file with EESCHEMA , 
I have a message :" Component End expected at line 26, aborted "

This is only a Quad Nand Gate ( with all four gate used )

But the same schematic under EESCHMA produce the file as following :

I couldn't find in " file format EESCHEMA " version 02 Juin 2006
all informations about file structure 
For example : letter C C ( see above )
What is the exact role about time stamp ? Orientation matrice ?

Where can I find a " file format EESCHEMA " with more explanation ?

I want modificate " eagle2kicad_sch.ulp " to obtain the same structure.

Thanks for you help .

Pierre .
