Vic,
Lots of programs handel Gerber files. They are the standard for
print / storage of PCB board files.
If you don't have such a program, then download one form the numerous
freeware/shareware sites.
Most electrical type programs would give this capability.
If you don't find a freeware/shareware program, then try the demos for
some commercial programs.
i.e.
MicroSim, PSpice - the PCBBoards package
MicroCap 5 - mix mode simulator
Ivex - WinBoard , (also includes a separate Gerbtool program)
etc.
(Try searching the web for the above names).
