I really did this all wrong... I actually have about another hundred
lines in subroutines too.
Where I really screwed up was to just keep coding, coding while the
spirit moved me instead of testing smaller less complete models as I
went. The way I did it, I ended up with this big pile of totally
untested code, and now faced with finding a problem that would. no
doubt, have surfaced way back down the road.

Oh, I didn't mean to convey that I doubted it being wrong. Just
pointing out that something deeper yet is going on too.
Thanks for the nifty command line test.
I think it's time I started rewritting this thing using a different
plan. One where I test it every little ways, might also help me see
how to break it down into more subroutines.
