Kevin, 
     
     I also use "PCGerber II", a subset of the "CAM350 Family", on my 
     notebook computer (75Mhz CPU and 24 MB of RAM) running under Windows 
     3.1.  This CAM software is also available in UNIX user interface.   
     
     I use it in my role as a field engineer for a leading board fabricator to 
     preview/review customers' designs for producibility.  I have also used 
     the DOS based "GCPrevue" software; I prefer to use "PCGerber II". 
     
     You can download a demo copy of the "CAM350 Family" software from: 
     
     Advanced CAM Technologies, Inc.  (formerly "CAD Solutions Software")

     Keep in mind that, even with RS-274-X format, any custom apertures 
     (such as unique thermals) will still need to be defined via paper 
     drawings.

     Kevin,
     I have used two products successfully.
     1.  CAM350 from ACT @ 408-358-4680.  They have a viewer called 
     GerberView II.
     2. GCCAM from Graphicode @  206-672-1980.  They also have a viewer 
     called GCVue.
     
     They both support RS-274-X with support for G36 and G37 polygon 
     fill.  They both also run under Windows and Unix.
     
     I am curious to know what Design product you use to output X data 
     with G36/G37 and the version number.

PC Designers,
     
HOWZITGOIN?
     
What software do you use to view RS-274-X gerber files?
     
Does it support G36/G37 polygon fill?
     
Does it run under UNIX or Windows-Etc?
     
Thank you and have a FANTASTIC day!
