Probably you mean CWK format. That is an archieve format from
GraphiCode CAM-Software. It is possible that the customer has the
shareware GC-Prevue, with which he can read in his gerber and drill
files and save all together as CWK. Then, any fab with the bigger
software GC-CAM can process these files, export gerber, panelize
etc.
