For those that are used to Zemax, I found the button sequence:

        <File>
        <Import Lens Data>
        <ZEMAX>

Then browse to import your .zmx file.  It may complain a
lot about the optimization function commands, but it seems
to at least pick up the lens data, apertures, field angles
and wavelengths (with weights).
