/**
* Writes CSV (Comma Separated Value) files.
*
* This format is mainly used my Microsoft Word and Excel.
* Fields are separated by commas, and enclosed in
* quotes if they contain commas or quotes.
* Embedded quotes are doubled.
* Embedded spaces do not normally require surrounding quotes.
* The last field on the line is not followed by a comma.
* Null fields are represented by two commas in a row.
*
* @author copyright (c) 2002 Roedy Green Canadian Mind Products
* Roedy posted this code on Newsgroups:comp.lang.java.programmer on 27th March 2002.
*
* Heinrich added some stuff like comment ability and linewise working.
