EH.R: Help with opening old spreadsheet files

[Ben Kriechel]

Dear Scott

One option would be to try open it with the (free) OpenOffice, which can be downloaded from the net.

Alternatively, you could try to use programs like Stat/Transfer, they claim that "Stat/Transfer will read and write files from any version of Lotus 1-2-3 (including Release 3.x and Windows)."

If you would send me (off-list, use the e-mail below) a couple of the files that you need to open I could quickly try these two alternatives for you, as I have the programs installed.
