I'd create text files like someone else suggested, because I'm more comfortable with at least three text editors/viewers than with Excel. But the bottom line is that it's a waste of time to design a new GUI around a file format, when you can tweak the data enough to reuse something that exists, and /has/ all the features you will eventually want. > A0 and C1 records could > be written to separate csv files. (Assuming that's OK, I wonder why they shared a file to begin with. Is the order between A0 and C1 records important?) /Jorgen -- // Jorgen Grahn <jgrahn@ Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu \X/ algonet.se> R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
