[Loadstone] Importing cells form MiniGPS

[Ari Moisio]

Hi!

  Thanks, it worked. Required  only few lines of PERl  to convert fields.

  One suggestion: could you register some file extension to help importing 
files and integrate send function directly in the Loadstone program 
itself.

  This hassle with  fexplorer is too complex for casual user like me 
who has been in it-business only 25 years:-)
