Don't forget do handle the national characters!!!
I had a demo copy of Sheetmate. This product makes several kinds of
spreadsheet files from plain text files and database files. But it
forgets the charaters over the code 128, so I got results like you would
got in English "H.T" and you would not know is it a hut or a hat.
Do you want to sell this products out of the USA?
If you want to transfer national characters from a HP to a PC, where the
character sets are different over the code 128, you _must_ allow the user
to define _his/her_ _own_ character conversion table.

There are 3 kinds of programming errors: syntactical, semantical and mystical.
The programmers have to suck up the users just as much as absolutely necessary.
