I guess I'm old then, because I've actually done that. On my first co-op I used an ancient HP 2100 mini computer (with 8K 16 bit words) of *core* memory (that was when memory was really memory - it didn't go away when you turned the machine off). That machine didn't have any sort of boot rom

What does the data look like in the csv as it is currently saved? I am not sure but my hunch is that the modules you loaded will work only if the file is saved as xls. So, unless you open those files with Excel and do a "Save As" xls, you will probably want a parser... -Original
