My input was unclear. To clarify
"Fini" is a boolean depending on EOF(1) and other conditions
When I use a breakpoint and step by step execution Excel hangs
when going to the "Line input #1, Inbuf" . The first execution
of this line of code is never ending. With the same input fil
truncated to 10 MB the program works as intended ... So
suspect that the cause is the size of the input file (232 MB)
and some Excel setup somewhere
