This is correct.  I thought long and hard about the implications of 
this, trying to get something that made sense.  You know, "if this 
column is present but not this, then one should be routed here and the 
other there, etc."  But then you reach a contradiction that comes to 
light when it messes up some other demo.  Of course, in binary files, 
there is no end of line to determine how many columns are present.  It 
has to be specified by the user.  But still, it's the same idea that 
Ethan is expressing.
