Looks good so far!
As you asked I ran a error check on the file. L3p picked up a duplicate
line, #52 is the same as #50.
3 4 4.855422 4 -12.0338 4.93058 3.77569 -11.90276 4.975 4 -12.01

3 4 -4.855422 4 -12.0338 -4.93058 3.77569 -11.90276 -4.975 4 -12.01
I believe it should have been;
3 4 -4.975 4 -12.01 -4.93058 3.77569 -11.90276 -5.246988 4 -11.82824
This looks like my kind of error... :-D
Oh! Thanks for the credit and letting me know that my spreadsheet is
actually coming in handy.
I'll have to try to learn how it is you are accessing the spreadsheet though
your VB app. That sounds very interesting. After 12+ years of Windows, I
have just started really using Excel and VB.
