While trying to import my SS CW Cabrillo file (POST 6.59) into Excel, I
noticed a possible problem with the received exchange.  See the following
snippet (look at it in Courier or similar monospaced font) :

QSO:  7000 CW 2001-11-05 0249 N4ZR       1091 B 54 WV  N7VS        3 A 65 Or
QSO:  7000 CW 2001-11-05 0251 N4ZR       1092 B 54 WV  K4XDX       122 A 63 Al


Oh well, word wrap will probably screw it up for many people, but I was
trying to point out that the column alignment seems to be off.  In extreme
cases like a 1-digit serial number followed by a 3-digit serial, the
precedence of the first QSO winds up in the same column as the third digit
of the second QSO's serial number.  That won't work, will it?
