This ASCII export does work fine with SC4 build 8 or 9, I forget which, but
anyway the latest y2k compliant version. The only minor aggravation is the
TC2000 ASCII export utility is a "fit-all" utility, meaning you have to
basically totally set up all the fields, the amount of data, and
ascending/descending order every time you use it. Maybe 10 or more clicks,
and if you make a mistake of course SC probably won't read it and you have
to do it again, more carefully this time :-). I haven't seen any way to
set your own default for this, but I haven't discuissed it with Worden yet
either.
