If I'm not mistaken, there was an issue of Microsoft Excel not editing the csv files correctly and when opening such a file up and saving it again, it introduced errors.
Such errors did NOT occur with the use of LibreOffice (or OpenOffice) which is available for Windows, Mac OX-X, and Linux. OpenOffice download: https://www.openoffice.org/download/ LibreOffice download: https://www.libreoffice.org/download/download/ (currently out of order) LibreOffice download: http://mirror.internode.on.net/pub/libreoffice/stable/7.1.1/ If Microsoft Excel no longer introduces errors, someone please correct me. 73 DR N1EA On Tue, Mar 23, 2021 at 2:10 AM Eric Oyen via chirp_users <chirp_users@intrepid.danplanet.com> wrote: > > One good way I have found to edit CsV files is to use a spreadsheet program > like Microsoft excel or one of the linux free variants.
