I don't know if this helps or not. Years ago, we used to send our gerber
data to the board shops in zip format, but we renamed the file extension
from .zip to .pcb. The file you have may just be a zip, rar or tar file,
with a custom extension. Try opening it with winzip.

This is a native job file from some CAD or CAM system - likely a CAD
file. View in Wordpad the header may indicate the plateform and version
of the file. They are likley sending the CAD file, but they need to
output ODB, Gerber, etc.

Subject: [TN] .pcb files
I was wondering if anyone can give some assistance to a problem we are
having at present. We usually send our gerber files to our pcb
manufacturers in order to get boards made. A customer however has
supplied a .pcb file. We have nothing to view what this file is and when
sent to our pcb manufacturers, they have come back with a response of
"cannot read this file type".
Does anyone know what this file extension is, and if so, how can it be
read?
