(...) Thanks for the suggestions. Both suggestions seem reasonable (for 3.3, probably; definitely not for 3.2). I had actually planned to support multiple output formats in the future, but wasn't sure what they should be. csv is certainly one of the (...) (17 years ago, 10-Aug-07, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
