Paul;
I will continue to call it SAC743_QCQ.txt because text editors will
automatically pick up the file with a dot txt ending. The documentation
spells out that this is a comma separated file and can be imported into lots
of programs.

The version named SAC743_QCQ.TXT should be named SAC743.CSV because it's
in a format known as Comma-Separated-Values. Quotes in this format are
usually used only when values contain commas (or a few other characters).
