Hi Ray, The standard DOS text format is ASCII. Just give them a text file that isn't made with any word processing file but is a standard ASCII text file... they should be able to read that. The normal output from Protel 99SE for pick and place, is available in 3 option, CSV or comma delimited text, spread sheet or Excel format, and 'text'.. which is ASCII text. Hope that helps clear it up... I know the options can be a little cryptic if you have not seen them before.
