Complete NGC List!

A while back I took several hours downloading and segregating the NGC list for my personal use. Then, due to a computer malfunction, I lost the whole thing. Does anyone know of a source listing the entire NGC that can be easily downloaded to EXCEL? My current option is to pick it up 100 items at a time, then cleaning it up for general use. Any help would be appreciated.

Judson: I don't really have a solution for you... But I do suggest considering spending $100 and buying Skytools. It has large data bases and you can search and sort them in a variety of ways.
