RE: CA TRANSFER OF CSV,BAI OR XLS FILES (& KEYVIEW)

Try loading the file into Excel and saving as a .PRN file which has fixed
positions.  Before saving the file check that numeric columns are right
aligned and set the number of decimal places correctly so that all the
decimal point will line up.

This is OK as a one off but I do not recommend it if you will be doing it
regularily.
