Default Saving Text File

I need to save some worksheets in a comma deliminated text format. Excell
2003 is only letting me save in tab deliminated format which will not work
for me. I have an older dos program that we use to run NHRA drag races and
the data base is in an older dos format that lets me download and upload
text files in comma deliminated file format. That way I can bring my data
base files into excel and update all of the drivers information, sort and
make mass changes, then save it back into a text file and reload back into
my dos editor.

Any help will be appreciated
