Viewing .pho files

[matt@strat]

Hello everybody, I am trying to correct/clean up files that had been contracted out and as such all I have are the .pho files.
Are there any viewers out there that allow you to just view a .pho file?

.pho files are just gerber files, so you want a gerber viewer.

If you have powerpcb and you have the matching .rep files, you can view them using powerpcb, CAM, verify.

You can also view them with CAM-350 or any other gerber viewer. There are many free ones. Look at the gerber forum here, I think at least one is listed.

Can you get the database from the contractor?
