I tried this on a Mac and it worked well, so I'm hoping it works on XP 
as well:

Can you just write out your tab delimited data to a file with an 
extension of ".xls"? On a Mac, double-clicking it launches Excel and 
opens it as if it were a "true" Excel worksheet...

Give it a try and see if it works! If so, it's the easiest solution. :-)
