This may be even more useless information but I create comma-delimited files
using Lotus123 which can save as a .txt file. I insert a column between each
existing column and paste in a right aligned "," (comma) in to the column and
save as a text file. The result is a comma delimited file. I have done the same
in Excel.

For what it's worth, Quattro Pro 9 can apparently handle a couple million
rows of data. Unfortunately, Quattro Pro cannot create comma-delimited
files (at least Ver. 7 can't, and Corel has not responded to my question
about Ver. 9), only tab-delimited files.
Good luck.
