One comment, MS Excel's reading of text files is VERY slow compared to other
spreadsheets available.

A friend and I just did a test of Wingz vs. Excel for text file importation.
Wingz was MUCH faster.  I don't know Excel very well, but I also believe
that Wingz is somewhat more limited on text formats accepted (i.e. tab
separated columns ONLY, no space or comma separation).

I just thought that this might be of interest to some.
