It might be helpful if you would please share the content of the
'bunch of error messages'.

Using the updated code from gino.aerografia (all of it) in a file
named g.rem, and running

	remind -p12 g.rem jan 2019 | rem2ps -l -e >g.ps

gives me no error messages, and indicates, in the resulting .ps
file, that Holy Pascha is on Sunday 28th April 2019. (I do not know
if that is correct.)
