read an efbp or CAiCE .xyz file and convert it to a .csv file
you have two options for the .csv file

1. with point numbers (the program reads the point name
from the .xyz file i.e. GND234 and uses the 234 for the
point number in the .csv file) format = PNEZRD (point number
,northing,easting,elevation,raw desc.,full desc.) raw desc.
= point name, i.e. GND234 and full desc. = G 99 code from
the .xyz file.

2. the same as 1 without the point number. format = NEZRD

I do it through EXCEL. Don't have much call for .csv coordinate files, but when I do EXCEL does it quickly. It let's me do a csv for windows, a csv for Macs (WHY!!??) and a comma separated csv file. I'm just adding this because so many computers come with word amd excel now and some new folks may not know they already have the tools.

Excel will not parse an efbp .xyz file Dent. Have a look at the "beachway.xyz" file included in the zip file.
