I have finished the script, and it looks good to me.  It has been
added to the repository -- please play with it and let me know how it
goes.  The only significant difference between my script and the bash
script is that I use _ in place of space in file names -- names like
WI_St._Claire.gnis look better to me visually.

The WI_deci file is 12822732 characters in length.  The sum total of
the county files is 4444905 characters -- hard to believe that
two-thirds of the file is wasted space!  The number of lines in the
WI_deci file is the same as the sum of county files, so no lines were
lost.

Jack.
