Sorry about answering myself. I see the problem. In the older version it
is likely that the -D_NO_LOCALE_SUPPORT was used or there was no locale
support so that the old files Gunter has contain the decimal points while
files he is writing out now have the comma. The new version of the
program chokes on a decimal point when reading in files. This is serious
and needs to be fixed. I will look into it ASAP.

I'm not sure exactly how to fix this bug since I'm not too familiar with
the localization stuff. I thought the locale should be set correctly due
to the call to setlocale(LC_ALL, "C") in tgif. But this code can be
skipped if -D_NO_LOCALE_SUPPORT compiler flag is used. The
_NO_LOCALE_SUPPORT compiler flag should only be used on a system that does
not have the setlocale() function. But anyone can just use
-D_NO_LOCALE_SUPPORT to compile tgif. Is there a way you can find of if
-D_NO_LOCALE_SUPPORT was used to compile tgif?
It is likely that the -D_NO_LOCALE_SUPPORT flag was not used as localization
is important in Debian. I will check into it. Do you have any idea why this
problem was not evident in the older version 4.1.45?
I believe that Günter has been using tgif for some time and clearly his saved
files have the comma but he had no problems with previous versions.
