Re: ascii reads

["Clyde Lee" <clydelee@xxxxxxx>]

I agree with what Dennis says.

I fought this battle for about 3 months and finally
did exactly what Dennis suggests and used
Excel to insure that dates AND TIMES were
properly incrementing.

I know it is stupid -- Omega knows it is stupid
but they say it is our problem not theirs.

I've written programs for years that can handle ascii data
any way you screw it up and still make sense out of it so
why can't Omega.

Thank God for Excel.

Clyde
