     I am throwing it here once more because I am realizing I have near 300
     values which means a day of work at least.
     
     If anyone has any suggestion about how to unify their syntax so I could
     e.g. paste them into portable file (if not import properly), I would
     appreciate it.
     
What's wrong with Ben's suggestion?  A Shell/Perl/VB script to create bunch
of ADD VALUE LABEL commands might not be the most elegent solution, but would
take perhaps a hour to do.
