CSV utilities for making CSV files. Does not read data from CSV files yet - just creates CSV.
<p>
I searched the internet for simple routines to create CSV files and could not find any. The ones I found were either overly complicated, or they didn't create proper CSV files. So I built some procedures that create CSV cells and create new rows. 
<p>
These CSV utils are compatible with Microsoft Excel so quotes are doubled together and the data is comma delimited. However, you can specify any custom delimiter and encloser.
<p>
For optimization this utility can write to memory using a capstring (enhanced chunk growing ansistring). In the future there will be an option to write directly to a file.
