Microsoft File, just now starting to ship, can accept records
separated with carriage returns with fields separated with tabs. The manual
on page 230 says "If you want to use a tab within a field value, type
quotation marks around the field value. If you wnat to include quotation
marks within a field value, type two quotation marks where you want one to
appear."
