I've been using M$ Excel and was hoping to find a way around it. I wouldn't
object to using perl but I would not even know where to start. Is this one
of those task that really isn't appropriate for AS or maybe I should say is
better suited with some other language? I believe that I could finally hack
out something, there is just the immediate time constraint (production, you
understand). It seems that reading in the records and storing the numeric
value being compared and using that to compare the following records and
determining whether or not they should be written out to the resulting file
is more than feasible. Thoughts, concerns?
Thanks,
Rick Norman

So would perl but that's a bit more programming which would be fairly easy if
