It took me 1/2 hour to write (and test to my own satisfaction) a simple C program to do it instead. It rejects EVERYTHING which is not in the format I expect. (We get our map updates regularly enought that it is not too important if a couple of maps get thrown out here and there). This took considerably less time than reading the huge volume of news that has been generated on the subject.

Thanks MOM, thanks DAD, for raising me right! my views are my own. That is all that is certain about them.
