I have an old CSV that looks like this.  I'd like to convert
it to Org format.

I think I want to use properties for every field except Name
(headline) and Note (body text with \r\n meaning newline).

What is the best way to do this?

"Na&me","&W","&H","A","B","N&et","&File","&Title","&Org","Addr&1","C&i","&St","&Zip","Addr&2","&Pc","&Note","gp","a&k","g&c","&Do","g&a"
"some name something","823-2323","233-2323 as a a a a as","2323
something","","2323 fax?  3333
fax!","soao-sss.ss","","","","","","","","","",0,0,0,0,0
"bob and sylvia
whosit","","","","","sylvia@sssssss.stanford.edu","","","","","","ca","","","","friend
sss\r\nwwwww\r\nzsdddddd\r\nwwww\r\n",0,0,0,0,0
...

More generally, I wonder if there is a general mechanism, as I imagine
this (with variations) is pretty common.

I am aware of the table importer.

Thanks.
