I was just trying to say that a plain text file would suffice for a 
quick report (how much quicker can it get than to have the program 
directly dump results in ASCII?). I am not expecting a slam dunk 
document, just the data.

I am sure OpenOffice has a "Save As" plain text option, so I just cannot 
see how much of a burden this could be _anyway_. As is, I cannot view it 
and no one who doesn't have OpenOffice can either. By "cleaning-up" I 
would think he means writting a better, more complete report, not the 
format.
