For Mac program users
Authored by: wfolta on Sep 02, '02 12:26:46PM

If you want to import the data into a Mac-ish program instead of UNIX-ish program, change the perl script to have "\\r" instead of "\\n". (Mac uses carriage return to delimit lines, UNIX uses line feed.)

Then, say you want to bring the data into Appleworks:

* In Appleworks, choose Open...
* Change the File Format popup to "All Available".
* Select the text file created by the script, but don't double-click or choose Open yet.
* Change Document Type popup to "Spreadsheet" or "Database", depending on which format you want to use.
* Hit Open and voila, it's imported!
