people's private lists kept (in) Thayer's and similar PC listing software."

Don, AviSys users can print their checklists, and Species Seen reports, to
ASCII file, which results in a simple text file of the form:
BirdName<CRLF>BirdName<CRLF> etc, etc. No page breaks. It can be done
with, or without, intervening "family" names, with or without intervening
Latin names, and in the case of checklists, the "sighted" markers and
"check-off" blocks can be eliminated.

AviSys users can exchange checklists with each other using those files (or
any similar text files), since there is a "checklist import" function.
Thus, if your checklists could be downloaded in that format, AviSys users
could import them directly.

A big advantage -- an AviSys user can report what she's seen in an area,
export it to ASCII file, and then import it into a checklist for future use.

I intend to maintain a library of custom checklists, submitted by AviSy
users, on the AviSys web site <www.avisys.net>. (When I get some time <G>)
