Re: Free office ! IBM Lotus Symphony

["Mark Allen" <scprideandms@xxxxxxxxx>]

It's basically for personal use, CSV's, one each for every baseball
player EVER (since 1981 thru 2006) stats for every season, one for
hitting, one for pitching, one for fieldding.  Used as the input to
get player ratings for a computer game I play against other guys
across the country.

I do some "mods" for some other alternate-historical games of this
data, normalize to present day stats, adjust guys with short careers
(went 3 for 10 in real life, don;t want him coming in rated as a .300
hitter, etc.)

I've done it in ACCESS importing the CSV's but Excel for me is a lot quicker.
