It's encouraging that none of the numbers shown above have been used before for sets (to (...) (24 years ago, 26-Sep-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.admin.database, lugnet.promo)

Are there any popular programs out there (on the level of Excel, etc.) which only handle CSV text and don't handle tab-delimited text data? --Todd (24 years ago, 23-Sep-00, to lugnet.admin.database, lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.publish)

From its documentation: This module is based upon a working definition of CSV format which may not be the most general. 1 Allowable characters within a CSV field include 0x09 (tab) and the inclusive (...)
