Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory has a couple of nawk programs 
that assist with translation from tab (or other unique character) delimited
fields to .ace format files and vice versa -- line2ace and ace2line.
You can get them via anonymous ftp from genome.lbl.gov in the directory
/pub/SWAP.SOFTWARE/ace2stuff/
If you need to input data "from scratch," you can combine these, as Brad
suggests, with a user-friendly data entry tool like FileMaker Pro.
