[eml-dev] [Bug 2573] New: - Data manager library need to handle binary data file format

[Callie Bowdish]

Hi Jing,

I've been doing a "save as" on Excel files in order to import  the table 
data as a tab delimited file. There has been a problem with the tables 
because of how Excel handles empty fields in the last columns. Bug 
2463,  http://bugzilla.ecoinformatics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2463 , has 
more information on this.
