Is there a way to or plans to support importing/loading the survey control info contained in NGS datasheets?

What is the format of the NGS data sheets you are loading and what does the survey control info contain? Do you have a sample?
Thanks,
Mike

NGS datasheets can be retrieved at
http://www.ngs.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/datasheet.prl
datasheet queries can be made by GUI map extents, name, county, PID or other. PID is a unique alphanumeric designation used by the NGS and others to ID a survey monument.
Results come back from the web interface and can be saved in htm format.
The datasheets contain position data in lat/lon, state plane and elevation. There are varying degrees of quality in the position information for the particular monument.
I posted a sample of datasheet info in pdf format to my original post. cant upload htm file but could email.
Thank you -
The solution was to download NGS datasheets in .shp format, a supported format in Global Mapper for importing.

The link below is also a great resource that provides NGS data for use in Google Earth, Google Maps, or Bing Maps. The files created can also be viewed in GlobalMapper.

DustyRobinson link is now broken. Another option besides downloading NGS datasheets in .shp format is to use DSWorld, NGS user-contributed pc software, available here:

DSWorld accesses the NGS Integrated Database, can return survey control in .kmz format, has lots of other nifty features.
