Dear Geertjan,
I've managed to reduce the project to a reasonable level. But I've not used
Github before as a repository, only to comment on Microsoft's documentation,
and I'm having a lot of trouble in getting my file onto it.
I created a repository (private - is that correct?) but when I tell it to
upload the .zip file (with my code and a README) it says "Something went really
wrong, and we can’t process that file" which isn't much help.
And when I try a push from my local Git to "github.com/ptoye/Netbeans" it says
Pushing to github.com/ptoye/Netbeans
fatal: 'github.com/ptoye/Netbeans' does not appear to be a git
repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
This could be an access control failure as I can't find anything in the git
push command to identify myself to the remote.
Also, I think I'll need to know your Github user ID to allow you access.
Sorry to be a pain, but GitHub's UI doesn't help much - the tutorial material
doesn't seem to have anything about actually getting files onto it.
Best regards,
Peter

Make as small a sample as possible that reproduces the problem and put it on
GitHub — that will always be the approach to take, no one will ever want ‘the
lot’ to solve a specific problem.

Dear Geertjan,
Oh dear, I was wrong. The problem came back today, even without the offending
file in the directory.Shall I try to cut down the program to a manageable size
before posting it, or would you like the lot?
