I hit that site, but for the 'free' viewer, it appeared to me the shareware or 
license fee was $495.  That didn't equate with free to me so I backed out.  I 
have to work in the wee hours again tonight, so I'm going to call this a wrap 
till sometime tomorrow.

I seems to me that the viewer should be able to handle that on an individual 
file basis.  geda has a rather extensive list of formats it can output and 
input but it didn't recognize the .gbr at all.  Grebv showed a small blank 
screen is all, and gerbv is the viewer for the geda suite.  I've used it a 
time or two before and it worked fine with the .dxf examples it comes with.
