ExcelExport v1.0.0.0 - Latest build 2006-may-12

ExcelExport is a command-line utility which will export
individual worksheets from a .XLS file into individual .CSV

This program is provided by Nebula Research and Development
as binary freeware.  It is not open source and no guarantees
are made regarding fitness or quality.

Please report any issues to freeware@Nebula-RnD.com and we
might fix them as time permits.  Support is not officially
provided.  Support and Enhancements will be made on a contract
basis only and as time permits.  An estimate for specific
changes will be provided and counter-offers will be
considered.

This program was written in C# with .NET v2.0 and requires
.NET 2.0 and Excel 2003 to be installed on the user's system.

To execute:
	excelexport from-file.xls to-file-prefix

The from-file.xls must be quoted if it contains spaces.
The to-file-prefix is applied to all sheets within the workbook.

Example:
	excelexport "c:\my docs\this.xls" "c:\another path\new_"

If the workbook has 3 spreadsheets the results will be:
c:\another path\new_Sheet1.csv
c:\another path\new_Sheet2.csv
c:\another path\new_Sheet3.csv

If no path is specified in the to-file-prefix, results will be
placed in the current directory, not the from-file directory.  If
a worksheet within a workbook is empty it will be skipped.

Possible enhancements that will be considered:
- Optionally change delimiter and quoting characters.
- Export as XML using Row 1 for tags.
- Export data to remote MV environment.
- Allow process to be called from remote MV environment, even *nix.
- Process data conditionally.
- Process multiple documents based on a file pattern: june*.xls
- Consolidating multiple documents or worksheets
- Enabling the code as a callable web service
- Allow the from-file to be a URL or FTP location.
- Feel free to make other suggestions...

Possible bugs:
- Does not distinguish between a data worksheet and a chart and
may return an error. (Not tested)
