Using dbCopy instead of Import for speadsheets.

Until recently, whenever I needed to import from an Excel spreadsheet ( every month, 7,000+ lines, 10 fields, , and " ), it was very simple. Save the spreadsheet as a dbaseIV file and use fp's dbCopy. Then fix things up in Define Files and Screens.
The reason I said  "until recently", was that new versions of Excel do not offer saving as a dbase.
