create layers from an existing list

I am looking at finding a lisp routine that will enable me to create layers
on the fly from an existing external list. I am trying to standardize our
layers, but I don't want all the layers we use to be loaded in the template
dwg. I think it would be handy to be able to create a layer from a list we
create. That way we can put all layers in one list an call them as we need
them. Of course this routine should create linetype and colors too. Any help
will be greatly appreciated.

I have just the routine for you. It will create the layers you specify from
a txt file. It will set linetype, lineweight, colors, no plot, etc. The
problem is I have it at home, so if you can wait till about 7pm est tonight,
I can send it to you along with a sample txt file for format.
