BTW, I don't write the submarine software, I just write/maintain
utilities that the developers and others use.

Yup.  If anyone wants to write a fancy GUI front-end, they should
feel free to do so.  BTW, Frank does have a point about TinyPoint's

which apparently the TinyPoint batch files do.  I've asked Dieter
to change that though.  BFN.  Paul.
