This is most likely an ASCII database (possibly from Protel). We send it
along with
the gerber files to our CM. They extract info for pick and place
equipment and test
equipment from it.

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?
