I'll see what I can do, but I don't think he'll spend time on it.
Software other than his preferred package is viewed as consuming their
time. (Which as always here, is in high demand.)

I can completely understand the reasons they adopt a preferred package,
but at least they are willing to accept files produced from PCB
(assuming they are correct and don't require any rework).

It seems to me that their main issue is having no software to panelise
gerbers from different sources. (He does some panelising in Proteus, but
its gerber viewer (which can panelise and re-output) doesn't support
polygons, inspite claiming to support RS274X).
