It works for me too :)  I had _2_ errors. sorry. I had the new holiday
as a REM line without an OMIT line for that date. I had an error in the
last line. sorry. Probably, Hymie, your code goes as well when I correct
my error.

Now I can play around with the whole thing tonight and, most important,
get my head straight on this whole thing.
