Doug,
As a former generic user, I seem to remember these files being
part of Generic CADD. I'm sorry I can't tell you exactly where they
might be, but have you done a search for them? Hope this helps.

Doug,
Generic Cadd 6.0 has the ability to save in the DWG format within the
program. You can run the conversion utility separately in DOS by typing ACON
at the C:\gcadd directory and run it separately.

Generic Cadd 6.1.5 was the last version and had the best converter. We do
not have the utility posted at our web site as far as I know.
