Argos-tools: can't import DIA file(s)

[Ciconia]

I've just started working with Argos tools and huge amounts of data supplied by email from ARGOS. They come with a *.txt extension and in the following format:
15258 Date : 01.12.06 12:26:54 LC : Z IQ : 00
Lat1 : ??????? Lon1 : ???????? Lat2 : ??????? Lon2 : ????????
Nb mes : 001 Nb mes>-120dB : 000 Best level : -132 dB
Pass duration ??s NOPC : ?
Calcul freq : 401 650000.0 Hz Altitude : 0 m
00 01 54 55
15258 Date : 02.12.06 10:13:50 LC : Z IQ : 00
Lat1 : ??????? Lon1 : ???????? Lat2 : ??????? Lon2 : ????????
Nb mes : 001 Nb mes>-120dB : 000 Best level : -133 dB
Pass duration ??s NOPC : ?
Calcul freq : 401 650000.0 Hz Altitude : 0 m
03 00 02 21

I want to directly import them. I have tried renaming the files as *.dia This downloads the headings but not the actual data. Can somebody help?

Many thanks for having a look at this. I have attached a file. I receive them as email attachements. They have recently changed the export to *.cvs

I renamed your csv to dia and it worked fine for me. Here is the log file:

d:\programming\avenue\argos\errors\struyf_ads_4102_20080417040051_769.dia

Please show me whats in yours.

Hi
I'm very happy. I moved my data from the server to C drive and now the files import very well.
However, I am forced to run in demo mode (of which there are only 3 days remaining) and a product key is requested. Do I need to purchase the product key?
Also how did you generate the log file - this of course would be very handy. Many thanks for your help

I'm using Argos-tools for Arcview GIS it is way more advance and it is completely free.

I have upgraded my version from 0.26 to 0.35 - now everything appears to be working perfectly. I'm still running Arcview 3.1, we are waiting to upgrade to ARCGIS 9 at the end of the year. When this happens is it better at this stage to continue with this work in ArcView 3.1 or shift across to the next platform ?

I'd recommend to stay in AV3, at least for running this extension. ArcGIS version of it is lagging far behind.
