I rewrote the bulk of my Python parse the local Tk4- prt file in Go. I thought it would be easy but it took me all day. Then again I don’t exactly think in Go at this point. It won’t win any awards for Go style and technique. It needs to read the prt directory looking for prt00x.txt files which contain multiple print jobs appended back to back. Then parse them out to the proper directory.
Now I have written a few basic Go programs to be used as a basis to write other programs. But this is the 1st real Go program I have written to accomplish a real task for something I do frequently on the Hercules emulated mainframe…TK4-.
