I am trying to convert a Orcad schematic to Kicad. I am new to the group, I sure 
could use some help.

I compiled the edif2kicad program and was able to try out the *e2schm.exe* utility that it produced. 
However the problem I have is when I try to import the schematic into Kicad I get a bunch of errors 
saying it can't find the library files. Obviously all the original library dependencies that the Orcad schematic 
had are needed in separate files for Kicad. But I don't have these. 

1.) So how do I convert an Orcad library file [*.olb] to Kicad [*.lib]? 
2.) Where can I find this program called *decomp.exe *that can be used with the Kicad orc2eeschema.exe? All the 
original suggested URLs suggested are no longer valid. 
3.) Orcad allows me to export a library but in terms of a *.EXP format. What can I do with this? How to save 
in *.SRC format?
