Assigning to Deri so he can have a look and/or throw back to me. I might have enough Perl for what seems like a relatively simple task. :)

If I slip to gropdf a "download" file with only two tab-separated fields instead of three, I get the following spew.

Use of uninitialized value $file in substr at /home/branden/groff-HEAD/bin/gropdf line 1167, <__ANONIO__> line 1.
Use of uninitialized value $file in substr at /home/branden/groff-HEAD/bin/gropdf line 1174, <__ANONIO__> line 1.
Use of uninitialized value $file in concatenation (.) or string at /home/branden/groff-HEAD/bin/gropdf line 1174, <__ANONIO__> line 1.

In my opinion, gropdf should check that the lines in the "download" file are of satisfactory form, and throw a complaining diagnostic if they aren't.

(Note: upload size limit is set to 16384 kB, after insertion of the required escape characters.)
