No good reason.  I soon as my ISP is back up (we had downtown Cleveland flooded
with three feet of water in the middle of Winter - water main break), I'll post
it to CVS.

Can Excel import XML?  I hacked a utility called asdbget which uses FTP and
some AS/400 specific magic to retreive files from the 400 and put translate
them in to ASCII XML format (which has a header describing the complete
file layout).

The theory is that you could pipe it to a quick hack of a perl script using
XML::Parser that could translate it into any other format.
