Why do you say it is OS-dependent?  Whatever OS you are running,
you still need to generate the same text.  If you do so by writing
a simple Perl script that massages your csv file into the correct
format, what difference does it make whether the Perl script
runs on Linux or MSWin?

Is there some way to generate this XML file that is easier on
MSWin than on Linux?  Is that the information I am missing here?
If so, please tell!  (And it would be good if Brickbay told, too!)

Thanks,
