Hi Kurt,

I doubt if Orcad has changed anything important.  I looked through 
their stuff and the only improvement that stands out is you can now 
us "2K2" to represent the value of a 2.2K ohm resistor.  There are 
lot of fluffy changes and some advanced stuff added but that is not 
useful for Tesla coil work.  As far as I know, version 9.1 is the 
only demo version available and has a few bugs fixed over version 8.

The files should all read fine.  I use Version 9.1 and don't plan on 
changing that.

Cheers,

        Terry
