I think gwave can parse this in which case thats probably a good place 
to look for a ready made parser.  And yes, please support this format. 
It supports gnucap and it is a simple enough format that one can produce 
it fairly easily from any number of custom tools.

and "its own" is plural here meaning 1 commercial simulator may have 
more than 1 proprietary format with varying levels of compatibility with 
that vendors own tools.  Actually some of the proprietary formats are 
non-trivially different.
