-John, Q3

Putting L-records (or any other records) after the G-records is contrary to
the IGC file specification:

A2.3 Record Order. The A-Record is always the first in the file and the
last is the Security (G-) Record.

L-records may be placed H, I and J Records but before the G-record(s).

This may cause problems with other analysis software.

Or you may get away with it.
