Load layout data to paste-buffer

CPLD.pcb still loads fine.  The problem is the syntax error when I try
to load CPLD.new.pcb.

Good suggestion, I deleted it and ran gsch2pcb unfortunately I still 
get the syntax error.  I usually get this error loading the dot.pcb 
for the first time due to an error in one of the new footprints.  I've
not seen this fileversion thing in a dot.pcb before.
