Anonymous Monk said, No offense, but....

No offense taken.

What you are simply misunderstanding is that when first posted, this well-done JAPH was cut into about eight rows of 40 columns. Once downloaded with the Download Code option that you mentioned, one still had to cut-and-paste (or otherwise manipulate) those eight lines all onto one line before it would work, since the line-breaks in the original version of the post broke the JAPH.

The problem in the original post has since been corrected, and now the "Download Code" link produces code that will actually run. (Kudos to the original poster for fixing the problem).
