Frank,

Part of your solution could be to have your data gathering routines
seperated from your display routines. This way, run modes to "view data
as HTML" and "view data as CSV" could share the same data handling.

Then you might also have one routine that transforms a database data
structure into CSV format. (likewise for HTML format). Then you should
have fairly small run modes to do the actual HTML and CVS display.

I like the idea of using CSV instead of Excel format simply in the
spirit of avoiding supporting Microsoft whenever possible. :)
