Your belief is exactly right. This will be fixed the next time I post
an update.
It really was a one-byte change; some impatient Guide user will probably
edit 'guide9.exe' with a binary editor to change the comma to a semicolon,
rather than waiting for me.
There's a story, possibly apocryphal, about an early probe to Venus that
blew up shortly after launch; it was supposedly traced to a missing hyphen.
I've had various "just one wrong byte" errors in my code over the years;
fortunately, none has ever risen to nearly that level of disaster.
