**CSV2XL csvspec \{,inispec\}**

CSV2XL.LIT provides an alternative to PRINT.LIT for generating spreadsheets from CSV input, eliminating the need for a printer init file that invokes the CSV2XL print filter. Note that it is still just a front-end to [CSV2Xl.sbx](csv2xl.md) which does all the work. 

**Parameters**

_csvspec_ \[in\]

CSV source file. .CSV extension is optional. May include //XL directives; see [CSV2XL](csv2xl.md) for details.

_inispec  _\[in\]

optional init file used by CSV2XL. Default is BAS:CSV2XL.INI.
