Oops. Yes. Fixed.
The logic was obviously backwards. I re-ran the program to
make sure it ran but did not look at the results so double
check for me please.

Yes. This remains the case. Because there are no GAPS table,
when there's
a missing transition marker (Mdate, Tdate, Ddate, whichever)
then there's no way to know when one state starts and the next
stops. So the program leaves the whole thing unrecorded.
Cathrine,
I'm off the computer now so you can use it.
