I would be happy for this to happen.

If you haven't solved this (apologies for the huuuuge delay), I'd ba happy to
give it a go. I seem to have every version of Altium / Protel going back to 
the dark ages.
Having had another play with gEDA, I don't think I can face doing the next

Dammit. I remember why I don't use steves-house email. Outbound is broken, for
seemingly undebuggable reasons. Have resubscribed to reply, sorry about breaking
threading, chaps.
