I would be grateful if someone could provide an easy way to convert the first killer file definition (below) to the second. (MS Excel, perhaps?)
The first definition is from Puzzle Tiger. The second definition is, of course, the format used by SudokuSolver and jSudoku. I want to be able to use SS or jS to solve puzzles generated by PT. I don't need to go in the opposite direction.
Please note that I have inserted carriage returns in the second definition. Otherwise the line is so long that it intrudes into the following Firefox tabs, and I get rude (ruud?) complaints from the webmasters of those sites.

The first definition might be more clearly seen as:

The pairs of numbers seem to correspond to the cage totals.
