Re: [aclug-L] excel translator

[phrostie <phrostie@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

do you want to give it a try?

i think i can read excel 4.0 and/or 5.0

i thought i had wingz, but at the moment can't get it to start(maybe that was pht?).
right now i have staroffice and Xesslite.

i prefer the Xess.  it runs faster.
it lists it's filters as:  xs, xs3, wk1, wk3, wks, & xls.

anyone know what comes stock on a RH 5.2 install as far as spread sheets?

i may have spoken to soon...

i tried pulling up a couple of excel spreadspeets in applixware.  if it
is a spreadsheet with data only it imports okay.  however, a spreadsheet
with any vba code, command buttons, or menus doesn't look pretty.  which
begs the question, "what's the point of having an import filter that
doesn't import?"
