DFIU -- what a MESS for importing data into EXPLORIS

The DFIU utility was written by some brain dead programmer - there are numerous issues that 'could have been better" -- here is just ONE example ....

Instead of common sense -- the utility demands you have TWO DECIMAL PLACES for every price ... so if you are not careful your excel may trim a price like $1731.1 into $171.31 -- and you sell it for a HUGE LOSS .... see the image .....   what DFIU  does is to ignore any decimal and assumes the two RIGHT HAND numbers are pennies .... regardless .... one way to cull out the stupid --I guess .... I would never  accept this as a company ... but then ....
