sounds like it has a nice ring to it, eh?

Say, how do we convert the on-line library versions to be readable by Pads version 5?

PowerPCB V5.0 uses PowerPCB V4.0 Libraries. There is no library conversion necessary for V5.0.

It seems that there are only version 3 library files.
I thought there were version 4 files, but for some reason, they are no longer present.

I'm not sure why but it can be very easy to miss in the site index

try this link

OH! Are you talking about the pcbstandards.com libraries?

The Version 4 libraries are available in the Site Index under Padspwr / Lib folder in the directory structure.

We removed the Version 3 libraries because they are old and outdated, but we put them back in the Site Index by popular demand. When we did that we separated the Version 3 libraries from everything else. That's why there might be some confusion.
