Re: Getting a File to a PC with No Client Access

["Jerome Draper" <jdraper@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Common denominator file formats like .dif, .txt, .csv, .tab go back to
VisiCalc, Lotus, and BASIC days.  ETU calls .csv *BASICS because that is the
format that BASIC loves to read (input #1, fld1$, fld2$, fld3$, etc$)
