a converison program for xls files?

[Karen Lewellen]

Hi again,
Thanks once more.  I will pass this information to my Linux shell admin 
who seems interested in giving the program a try up here.  i still do not 
have a Linux setup of my own,  but will keep this information should i 
solve my hardware issues.  I have honestly been giving more energy to a mac 
setup, easier for me at least to get  going.
We will see if it works once installed at Shellworld.
