Duh-oh!
I didn't think of that. I love Perl... I use it as often as possible, and
I'll even call it from UV. I developed an email module to take a UV

When I originally offered the NebulAnalysis package it was only
columns, add column headers, etc, etc, even to the extent of using
Excel's "macro recorder". So, it might take a couple of goes to get it
