Bob, Graphicode ( www.graphicode.com ) has a free Gerber viewer called GC-Prevue. It used to have a document with it that described the Gerber formats. If it's not still included, their web site may have it somewhere else.

If anyone can point me in the direction of any documents which describe how to interpret this format, or can email me a document I would really appreciate it. A search of the web has come up empty.
