/* 

Translate a keyword name to a new name, based on a set of patterns.
The user passes an array of patterns to be matched.  Input pattern
number i is pattern[i][0], and output pattern number i is
pattern[i][1].  Keywords are matched against the input patterns.  If a
match is found then the keyword is re-written according to the output
pattern.

Order is important.  The first match is accepted.  The fastest match
will be made when templates with the same first character are grouped
together.

Several characters have special meanings:

     i,j - single digits, preserved in output template
     n - column number of one or more digits, preserved in output template
     m - generic number of one or more digits, preserved in output template
     a - coordinate designator, preserved in output template
     # - number of one or more digits
     ? - any character
     * - only allowed in first character position, to match all
         keywords; only useful as last pattern in the list

i, j, n, and m are returned by the routine.

For example, the input pattern "iCTYPn" will match "1CTYP5" (if n_value
is 5); the output pattern "CTYPEi" will be re-written as "CTYPE1".
Notice that "i" is preserved.

The following output patterns are special

Special output pattern characters:

    "-" - do not copy a keyword that matches the corresponding input pattern

    "+" - copy the input unchanged

The inrec string could be just the 8-char keyword name, or the entire 
80-char header record.  Characters 9 = 80 in the input string simply get
appended to the translated keyword name.

If n_range = 0, then only keywords with 'n' equal to n_value will be 
considered as a pattern match.  If n_range = +1, then all values of 
'n' greater than or equal to n_value will be a match, and if -1, 
then values of 'n' less than or equal to n_value will match.

/* 

Translate a keyword name to a new name, based on a set of patterns.
The user passes an array of patterns to be matched.  Input pattern
number i is pattern[i][0], and output pattern number i is
pattern[i][1].  Keywords are matched against the input patterns.  If a
match is found then the keyword is re-written according to the output
pattern.

Order is important.  The first match is accepted.  The fastest match
will be made when templates with the same first character are grouped
together.

Several characters have special meanings:

     i,j - single digits, preserved in output template
     n, m - column number of one or more digits, preserved in output template
     k - generic number of one or more digits, preserved in output template
     a - coordinate designator, preserved in output template
     # - number of one or more digits
     ? - any character
     * - only allowed in first character position, to match all
         keywords; only useful as last pattern in the list

i, j, n, and m are returned by the routine.

For example, the input pattern "iCTYPn" will match "1CTYP5" (if n_value
is 5); the output pattern "CTYPEi" will be re-written as "CTYPE1".
Notice that "i" is preserved.

The following output patterns are special

Special output pattern characters:

    "-" - do not copy a keyword that matches the corresponding input pattern

    "+" - copy the input unchanged

The inrec string could be just the 8-char keyword name, or the entire 
80-char header record.  Characters 9 = 80 in the input string simply get
appended to the translated keyword name.

If n_range = 0, then only keywords with 'n' equal to n_value will be 
considered as a pattern match.  If n_range = +1, then all values of 
'n' greater than or equal to n_value will be a match, and if -1, 
then values of 'n' less than or equal to n_value will match.
