Actually the cup format is really smart. It is just a plain CSV file
which can be read in a word processor or spreadsheet and formatted
into almost any other format.

With a program such as SeeYou or a text editor like BBedit, it is
possible to sort the list, remove duplicates and append new items to
the list.

Note, be very careful of programs like Word which will try and add
styles and formatting. The files should be plain text.

Being just a simple text format, it is an easy matter to enter tasks
directly into the cup file. In fact this is probably faster with a
text processor than using a dedicted navigation program if you know in
advance what the waypoints in the task are. Once they are loaded into
a waypoints list in text format, they can be read into most navigation
computers or software.

The format of the .cup files is published by Naviter (SeeYou) and it
occupies just one and a half pages of a pdf. Nice.
