This is known as a "tab" delimited text file.  Many spreadsheet and 
database programs can read text data in this format. 

The datafile on the PC is named "Cameras.txt" and is located in the
CamCol directory under the user's directory.  For Example:  

If I loaded the Palm software in: C:\Palm
and my data directory is: ChevE
then the backup file is in: C:\Palm\ChevE\CamCol
