Re: SQR - And SpreadSheets

["Shelton, Christopher" <cshelton@EXCHANGE.UCS.INDIANA.EDU>]

We have been using SQR to create tab delimited text files which can
easily be imported into any spreadsheet program.  Another option would
be a comma separated values text file.

It is usually best to create an output file within SQR and write to that
file, rather than using the standard print function to write to a
spreadsheet, since SQR will automatically add a line feed every 66 lines
or so, at least under version 2.57.
