I've downloaded many of the supplementary libraries from the Cadsoft website, but I still haven't found a generic SOIC-8 package I can use for components that have not been defined in the libraries.  Does anyone know where I might find this and other generic SMT packages?

Rob,

1. Check the smd-ipc under so08.
2. Find a device from another library that uses soic 8 pin and cut and 
copy to your new library.
3. Either way, v-e-r-i-f-y any package or symbol with the mfrs. data 
sheet to make certain all pin #s are right and pad sizes and locations 
are right too.
