Transition away from spreadsheet about x64asm HOT 6 CLOSED

For future reference when we go to fix this... how is the CSV delimited right now? I don't even remember how to export it from the spreadsheet properly.

from x64asm.

Btw: very mildly related. Don't know if you know about this already, but Russ Cox has a similar spreadsheet for a future Go assembler here: https://code.google.com/p/rsc/source/browse/x86.csv?repo=x86

Much much less complete than your work, but he's cross-validated it against both libopcodes and Intel xed. (If I have the time, I might try to write a bijection.)

I'm not totally sure I remember myself. I'm *pretty sure that the process
is:

1. Save as text/CSV
2. Select tab for field delimiter
3. Delete the contents of the string delimiter box (ie, set it to nothing)
4. Save

Thanks for the pointer, David! I'll reach out to him and see if he's
interested in combining work as well. No reason for anyone to have to
suffer through this more than once.

This is actually pretty easily fixed. All that we need to be aware of are the column/string delimiters: tab and nothing, respectively.

You can open a .csv file directly in libreoffice or any spreadsheet or csv editor if you know this, so there's no reason to keep the spreadsheet around.

The downside is that we lose text formatting in the spreadsheet, but I can't say I care enough about that to justify not making this change.

Basically all that I'm going to do here is delete the spreadsheet. Following this merge, just edit the csv directly.

Done.
