gerber viewer for Protel files - help needed

[star1]

Hi,
I have Protel 99se file which I want to send to Olimex, but they want Gerber files, have tried to use GC-Prevue but that doesn't seem to want to open the files.

anyone know a free Gerber viewer for Protel.

It sounds like you don't have Gerber files at all, but in fact Protel files. It's like the difference between having a Corel Draw file and needing a PDF: Corel can generate the PDF, and they're both vector formats so theoretically another program could convert between the two, but the CDR format is complex enough that pros trust only one program to deal with it correctly: Corel Draw.

In the same fashion, you need a copy of Protel to convert those files to Gerbers.
