Hi,

I have an old computer project designed in the late 1990s, for a 68060 
single board computer, I used to produce, from Gerber files in RS-274D. 
But not many PCB manufacturers use the RS-274D format.

The Gerber files were produced in PCAD for DOS, which I have never found 
an implementation of PCAD, Protel, Tango PCB or Altium Designer to read 
the binary PCB files.

I would like to make some more PCBs, but I only have the RS-274D Gerber 
files, what is hte best way to convert them to RS-274X or more modern 
standard.

Derek
