Hi Wayne,

looks pretty nice, perhaps I'd change the order of the attributes - the 
ones that are often changed at last. I'm doing that for the GAL and 
someone has to set the width for instance first and then follow the 
coordinates. This way a speedup is possible and it's perhaps easier to 
parse. You can compress the file and only attribute changes are required.

e.g.

(track (layer front) (width 0.6096) (xy 91.6686 85.4837) (xy 91.6686 
81.8134) (width 0.3020) (xy 50.6567 30.3767) (xy 20.3467) (xy 34.3557) )

A track on the front layer stepped down to 0.3020 after two coordinates.

Thanks,
Torsten
