Re: [PLUG] Text file to Excel, automated

[Gordon Dexter <gordon@texasdex.com>]

Easiest way I can think of would be to just make a CSV file.  Excel will 
happily read that, and it's plain text so it's a cinch for a script to 
make.  You can send the CSV file out unconverted, and they will barely 
notice the difference.
