Dear friends:

I have had good luck in posting pick/unix related questions on here
and get good response. Sooooo, I will try again.

To those pick gurus, do you have any experience in downloading pick
generated ascii files to a PC?  For example we run Universe ( a pick
flavor) under Unix on an HP9000, 835 series.  Our report writer is
called Retrieve.  I would like to generate a report saved into a
file that can be downloaded to a lotus spreadsheet.

Can Retrieve, or the pick report writer, create a lotus ascii file
with delimiters and so forth?  Can we accomplish this without
resorting to BASIC programming?

Thanks in advance for your hints, experiences, and leads!
