Hello

I have just outputted a complete series of Gerber files using Altium
Protel.
They show up fine in the Protel program, however GC Preview and
Viewmate will not display the files.
The extensions are: GBL, GBO, GBP, GBS, etc.
Shouldn't these generic viewers be able to view these files?

GC-Prevue expects .gbr extensions. Perhaps you can persuade Protel to
use them, or just rename the files.
