csv2kml Files

If you would like to suggest a modification, please contact peter@well.com

This program will ask for a comma separated value file or .CSV, but will accept any asci text spreadsheet.
 Just include the .TXT or .CSV suffix. You will be asked for the column numbers that contains longitude, latitude name and description.
You may have mispelled headers in your file, so this program lets you pick them without attempting to make guesses.
 Your description column will find its' way into  CDATA, and be visible in the "balloon", and properties box .
The last item requested from you will be the root filename that you want your KML file to have. Keep it to 8 characters or
 less, you can change it to anything you want later.
Always check your KMl file with a plain ASCII text editor such as Notepad or Wordpad and remove the tiny arrow 
at the end of the file. Google Earth does not like the end of file marker and will give you an error message.
Finally, if the program should crash, the closing 
</Folder></Document></kml>
 line may not be added. You can add it yourself and salvage the file for use.
If alignment errors in the data fields appear in the KML file, then your CSV file is missing comma
 delimiters, or possibly has extra commas in the fields. You will have to hunt them down and make corrections.
