Yes, and I will apply the same changes to the verifier script.

I think that adding the verifier functionality into the generator script would
make things more complex.  The nature of AWK is that it works best in terms of
a liner walk of the content of the files it is given as input.  Since the
generator and verifier scripts have different inputs (and especially since the
first couple of files that they need to process first differ), the script would
become more complex.  The fact that different actions are taken on the same
input records between the generator and verifier also complicates matters.
And keeping them separate makes it easier to optimize the scripts.

I am much better with AWK than with Python, so I went with AWK.  This is a
task it is remarkably well suited for given that a simple linear read through
the files accomplishes almost everything that is needed.  Thank you for bearing
with me on doing this with AWK.
