BUGS
     String escape sequences are not recognized so things such as

           " foo "(01 02) "n "

     will result in the string

           "foo "(01 02) "n"

     Hexadecimal numbers with dots in them such as `100.0000' are not parsed.

     Permissions on the output file are often incorrect.

     Output to the standard output device can cause problems.
