Whatever delimiter you choose, you MUST examine your data to ensure
it doesn't contain this value.  I've found using the POSIX "tr" command
very helpful.  I've also created an Excel macro to replace various non
printable characters with spaces and then using the TAB character as the
delimiter.  (Of couse, I can't put my finger on it at the
moment....DOH!)
