I have no idea where the file comes from but it is a 600-800MB delimited
txt document. They use a web page to parse the file and create an Excel
spread sheet.
I don't know what the txt file contains or why they need it converted to xls.
In any case I am told to make the system capable of meeting the dev teams
needs.
