File processing

[Chris McMillan]

Thank you everyone for your imput!!  On a side note:  I would have loved to
use bash, sed, etc, but unfortunately I'm forced to use a Windows NT
machine.  I just thought this might be an excellent python exercise since
I'm in the process of learning it.

Thanks again,

Chris
