CntRefmt: Reformat Row-Column-Count Segments of CntCnv Records

      CntRefmt is a companion program to CNTCNV that reformats row-column-count segments of records formatted for CntCnv, e.g, to make differently formatted files consistent or to change the spacing to make reading easier (as in the example below). The output is formatted with leading #'s (Antanta Data File comments) so that it can be submitted in an antana forat file as documentation of the changes. Errors are produced if input data are misaligned or if the input field values are too wide for the specificed output field widths.

     The program prompts should be self explanatory.
