Relaxing afternoon win. Finally got the compile to run and the program now produces reasonable output. Sadly, 95% of the program now consists of sanity checking the input data. Took me back to reading Rick Cook's Wiz Biz books decades back.
“Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots. So far, the Universe is winning.”—Rick Cook, The Wizardry Compiled
