Summary: Rejects as RS-274D if there's no aperture definition

Initial Comment:
When I load a supposedly RS-274X compliant file into gerbv (this is the Windows version), it doesn't process it, reporting back to the user --
  C:\Documents and Settings\...\layer.art: Found RS-274D file -- not supported by gerbv.
  could not read C:\Documents and Settings\...\layer.art[0]

But if I manually insert any aperture definition into the file (for example, "%ADD61C,.1*%") then it processes in gerbv without any problem.
Isn't it slightly too severe, to prevent viewer processing just because of that?  Thanks; Larry.
