OK, I've been screwing around with editing gerber files and I'm getting closer.
The top of the Camtastic generated gerber file looked like this: G04 CAM Products 2000 RS274-X Output* G04 Serial Number: 0000-00-00000* G04 File Name:C:\design\spectral\Rcc00340\Rcc003\CONVERT.GBL * %FSLAX34Y34*% %MOIN*% %SFA1B1*% ... while the top of one of my Protel generated gerber files looked like this: %FSLAX24Y24*% %MOIN*% G70* G01* G75* %ADD10R,0.0160X0.0500*% I removed the first 3 lines that start with G04 and Protel accepted the file! Some parts are missing...(I really don't know why) but I'm getting closer. Any assistance to get a clean, accurate gerber load would still be useful!
