Our general manager here at MetaWare wishes to switch from his Mac to a PC 386 clone, and wants to convert all his Excel spreadsheets over (rather than -- AAAAUGH! -- retyping them all). Obviously, he should be able to import them into Excel for MS-DOS; but he'd like to know all his options. Would he be able to import them into any other spreadsheet programs? Supercalc? 1-2-3? -- /|\ /|\ .. . . . . . . . . . . | |\| |\| .. . . . . . . . . . . |/|\|/|\|/|| _ _ _ _ |_| _ _ |_ -__ _ _ARPA: funkstr@ucscb.ucsc.EDU | |/| |/|L_ (_\( ( (_/ | |(_\_) (_ || )(_)_)UUCP: *!ucbvax!ucscb!funkstr \|/ \|/ larry / hastings _/ WORK: sun!acad!metaware!funkster MetaWare Incorporated Disclaimer: It was a bad day.

And, while we're on the subject... I've got a fair amount of spreadsheet data in AppleWorks, in whatever goofy format AppleWorks saves its stuff in. I want to get it over to my PC running Excel. AppleWorks will save files in DIF format, and I can port the DIF file over to the PC, but I can't get Excel to read the DIF files. Anybody done this before? Is there some wacko utility I have to run? Thanks Andy
