The sector generation files are intended to be used with 
http://www.travellermap.com/post.htm 

EQ 1105 - Full.rtf 
EQ 993 - Full.rtf
- select for the "Sector Data" file, 
depending on what Traveller year you want to play in.

NoS - Year 993, 1105 - MetadataEQ.rtf
- both eras use the same border information, so use this for the 
XML Metadata file


Of course, you are free to rewrite it as you please, to fit
your own canpaign.

These files also contain the updated trade codes, related to
population. This is the only difference between these files and the
sector generation text files.

Empty Quarter 993, 1105.xlsx 
output version Empty Quarter 993, 1105.xls
 - these files are what I use to manipulate data, etc.
the only difference is 
1) the version of Excel, and 
2) my use of concatenation in one column of the "output version", 
to create the rtf files. 

You can delete this column without worry, or keep it
and refine the output version to provide better results.
I used the "Convert XLS" program to help with the output: google
it up if you want to get a free copy yourelf.
