You are a whiz! I am amazed at how quickly you soak this stuff up.
I took your code as a base, but I changed a few things because I am on Win98
and needed to work with a file that I had locally (no kidding! :-). I
started the ports in lines mode, did some interacting to get the file name,
through in a smidge of error detection (but it needs lots more), discovered
an apparent bug in set-modes, and finally got it to work. Of course, this
skips the skip. Maybe it can be work mack in where necessary, but for the
sake of your prototype code, I skipped the skip. Watch the line breaks.
Make it fit your sample and let me know how it goes and/or if my code is not
making sense.
Interesting project!
