NebulaXLite generates real formatted Excel spreadsheets from BASIC. The
documents can also be opened from OpenOffice and Google Docs.  You don't
need Excel at all, and it's much better than a CSV.

Apropos to this thread, rather than pushing CSV to a browser, rap the data
in HTML. A simple table will do - do not include HTML or BODY tags, start
with TABLE. Then use ContentType:
  application/vnd.ms-excel

Other MIME types to try:
  application/excel
  application/x-excel
  application/x-msexcel

With NebulaXLite, just save the file to a web server as .xls.  When the
user opens it with a plain link, it opens with Excel in the browser in edit
mode.  Click the example on the page below.
