True enough.  The only reason I asked is because from what I can see, it
looks fine.  I figured I'd see if somebody has some 'educated guessing'
(as you put it) script to fix the dern thing.  Oh well, maybe I had it
coming for not tarballing and starting the file over for so long.  It is
quite old (and large).  I'm sure I'll get over it...thanks anyway.
