First thank you, but needs work.  After adding two more aperture types
to the script and concatenating the plot data, gerbv loaded it but all I
get is a large blob, it seems that the scale of the apertures and the
plot data are orders of magnitude different.  I also have other files
with very different aperture report formats, Oh well...

I'll play with it later, thanks again.
