Sweet! Yes, that seems to work. Only little bug was this line:

signed short Get_PT_TwoByteComp (TwoByteComp *comp) {
return (signed short) (comp->c[0]*256+comp->c);
}

should be:
return (signed short) (comp->c[0]*256+comp->c[1]); //with the [1]

This sometimes happens with untested C/C++ programs!
A missing subscript can't get past the syntax check in COBOL,
though.

Wow, I have not done it all yet, but got the pin and the first x,y. I
think I'm golden.

Thank you all very very much. Richard and Rick, I'd love to pay you
back. If you'd like to split the $100 please email me at andy at
camavision.com where I can send the check.

Send it all to Richard. He was willing to do it in COBOL.
