Tom's parts were a while before l3p was released.
That does work, but it is not always any easier than just scanning the
file in a text editor.
L3p often will produce a ream of data on errors in the part.  Most of
those errors I have no ability to fix.  So scanning through that data
looking for the simple things I can correct takes longer than looking
through the file itself.  (sigh)

Actually, ldlite can be set to log errors it encounters in a part.  It
doesn't concern itself with the detail of errors that l3p does, so it
might be a better solution for my needs.  I am going to try it and
see.
