I think Gerber is standard everywhere
in the world bar here.

The supplier I was talking of does
accept Gerber - but charge[s|d] extra
for being given the files not in protel.

I actualy like the old protel for DOS
program. So it did not bother me too
much. It's just the new windows version
I think are less than fun.
