You're right.  Terrible code :-)  I'm not a wizard so could you please
stick an illustrative main procedure on there so we non-wizards can figure
out what this program is supposed to do in the first place?  It looks like
it scans a string for the longest match on any one of a list of strings but
I got nowhere trying to make that work.  If that's really what is going on
I have some ideas.

Thanks.
