   Hey bart.   
      
   What I mean is that since I have not yet defined a canonical standard   
   for my program, the goal here (to determine if my code can parse the file)   
   is unclear.   
      
   It means I need to plan much more *before* I write more code, no mean feat   
   when one is excited & ready to jump in =)
