DFX to Gerber?

What a mixed up strange world.The local PCB shops won't touch a simple job for less than $2000 NRE +board costs, but several shops in China can knock out a panel for $99 -almost flat rate.But (of course) they need a particular file format - which I don't have.Not surprising, I guess. The last circuit board I had made was 20+years ago - done with tape and stickies on film and photo reduced.I've been all over the net tonight looking for a DFX to Gerber translator - which are avialable - Free Download!, but cost big bucksto license. (trial copies work - but leave out some items)Is there anyone in the house translate a few dxf files to gerber?Or?Know of a PCB prototyping house that's affordable and can translate?A single double-sided board - 5-12" x 6" - with silkscreen - less than 1000 holes.It's not a commercial product - just something I wanted to play with.
