John,
Thanks for the info. Very slick. Nice that it handles embedded
carriage returns, that's something that Outlook outputs in it's CSV if
you have them in your notes/comments field,and the other Personal
Information Managers don't seem to be able to handle when you try and
import that CSV file. They could use that module.

I tried to do the full install, but it didn't work for some reason
with OpenWatcom (the only C compiler I have installed):
-----------------
D:\Downloads\Python\csv\csv-1.0>d:\python22\python setup.py install
running install
running build

I did get the Win32 binary to work (although I had to try a couple of
times to find out what directory to put it in since they don't tell
help us newbies out by listing it).
