Comma delimited data

The programs were written for a main frame computer using card input. To make the set of codes easier to use, I wrote auxiliary codes to organize the procedures and permit the user to provide input in comma-delimited format. This organizes the deck input and assures proper column placement of the data. 

NISPEC.DAT is a comma-delimited text file to be used with Excel s Data Parse or Text to Columns menu commands. 

Select the data file SilagepH and follow the instructions of the Text Import Wizard. The data are comma- delimited, therefore use Delimited, and as delimiter specify a Comma. The data should appear in your spreadsheet after you use the Finish key.
