Hmmm...did you get any output at all? You should have at least gotten SOME
output from the program after 20 minutes, even on a slow machine. I might        
be able to make a better guess at the program's problem if you let me know
the parameters of your command-line run, and any output you get from it.  

If you didn't specify an input file, then my program might be waiting for
you to input text from stdin. I have added a line to the program that 
prompts the user for input when appropriate. Of course, you won't get the
prompt if you are redirecting stdout.   
  
I have attached the new version of the program with this email. If you    
don't get a chance to mess with it, then maybe I can demo it during our   
meeting on wednesday.
