#
# This program is designed to delete a few specified lines from a file.
# The line numbers are given on the command line, the file is read from
# standard input and the lines that are not deleted are written to standard
# output as in
#
# dellines 46 23 119 <infile >outfile
#
# which writes all lines but 23, 46, and 119 of infile (if it contains that
# many lines) to outfile.
#
# Line numbers do not have to be given in order. Numbers less than 1 are
# ignored, but a nonnumerical argument is treated as an error.
