I found some out some more specifics... Universe spooler hook. The hook is a script that executes a C program that parses the report from standard input and determines the columns and headings. It then parses the output and generates a Perl script that creates an Excel spreadsheet, and executes the Perl script. It then FTP's the spreadsheet file to a Windows server and sends a message to the user that created the file where the file can be picked up.
