Hello Bob;
Would it be possible to elaborate on 'parens?' Mom and Dad perhaps?
BSF, Jargon/paraphrasing is rampant, and my habit is to ask when I need
clarification.
My personal guess about the handling of CSV's is the overhead of lining
up the row lengths can make processing those files to be slower than
what is possible with fixed length 'records.'

I'm a newbie at this. Don't exactly understand what a CSV is, but perhaps the
first time an abbreviation is used, could it be written out, with the
abbreviation in parens. This is the way many technical reports are written - a
nice courtesy.
At any rate, on the subject, in addition to a matrix of fixed length rows,
what's wrong with a list of boxes?
