12 extra lines at the end shouldn't be a problem, since the patch
program will ignore "garbage" before and after the patch proper.
I know what to do with floating point in an editor: use it as a cheap

decimal point. Maybe other things too.
("cheap" because the marginal cost of the calculator is nil, since I
need the editor anyway.)
Best regards,
Tony.
