If you know someone with CAM350 you could try this.

Export your protel files as PCAD 2000 ASCII

Import to CAM350 as ACCEL

Export from CAM350 as PPCB file.

For sure you will most probable get screwed copper pour or messed up split planes as this is area most conversions failed in.

But if you at least get the parts, netlist and stuff OK you can clean up afterwards.

Never seen a 100% success conversion first time.
