Daryl, You may be asking this question on the wrong group. :=) 

No, AutoTRAX puts out industry-standard RS-274X (embedded aperture) 
Gerber files. I can't imagine why a PCB shop would specify protel 
format files.

As Leon pointed out, there is no relation at all between the current 
AutoTRAX and Protel's earlier product of the same name. (See you back 
over on the AutoTRAX group.)
