I love doing this with small one time use programs.  It's fun trying
to see how few lines of code I can get by with.  One time I had a
three line program.  One F spec for the primary file opened for
update, a C spec to plug a value into a field, and a C spec for the
update.  Does anyone remember the old game show "Name That Tune"?
