a converison program for xls files?

[Janina Sajka]

Hi, Karen:

No particular password is needed on my ftp site. It's a public site, so
the customary 'anonymous' login and your email address as password will
get you in. Heck, you can even skip the password in my case.

Unfortunately, it doesn't sem it reads more recent xls formats, and I
wouldn't get too excited about its clain to transform PowerPoint as I'm
sure it just wraps a graphic image in a few html tags. But, maybe it
will meet your needs. It works for me sometimes.

You might want to get xlhtml via yum, if you're using Fedora. Or via apt
if on Debian. Here's the current rpm entry:

Name        : xlhtml                       Relocations: (not
relocatable)
Version     : 0.5                               Vendor: (none)
