Note: One-word Subject lines are usually very stupid.
Make just a bit more effort next time.

Buy Pulsonix.

Pulsonix was more or less (as far as I can tell) founded by former CadStar
employees, so I would tend to imagine it has the best CadStar import of any of
the packages out there, since the Pulsonix guys would conceivably have more
information about the internal design formats and what-not than most
companies.

Not that I've ever actually imported a CadStar schematic into Pulsonix, mind
you (only ORCAD schematic, and those turn out pretty darned good if not
perfect)... or even used CadStar for more than about 15 minutes in my life...
