Subject: RE: Current -fixes GPU formats vs TS

Wouldn't cut -s be better?   I had simply put a 1 liner you had posted on line, so that I would not forget it.

It worked well enough.  It only has to work once.  Get the count, patch the .dat file and forget it.  It is not really a use all the time script.

Jim.
