I tried LibreOffice, but its proprietary file picker refuses to recognize the .sxc file.
Both LibreOffice and OpenOffice are free, not proprietary, and both use the .ods format for spreadsheets.
You could email me a sample spreadsheet in that sxc format and I can try to open it, if you can't get LO to run.
ellanios82 early and privately made the same offer. He sent me back both .sxc and .ods versions. Original: 8063 bytes .odt returned: 17667 bytes .sxc returned: 17046 bytes Content was in A1.T157. Using LO, all content except that in A4.A157 was restored, best as I can tell with *no* losses, as it was all strings or empty cells. A4.A157 contained 10 digit integers. At whatever format I can't say, but I made no numerical format changes to any of those cells AFAIR. The returned docs both contain only 6 significant digits. That will probably take more than an hour to fix, but probably less than 1/3 the time as starting from scratch using the logs from which the original was built. After figuring out how to make LO usable, I got my original to open, with same result as both files returned by ellanios82. KOffice reads both the files. I used TDE's KSpread to create an .ods file from scratch. KSpread3 on 42.1 reads it OK. KSpread3 on 42.1 also can create from scratch, and recall, an .ods file. So I guess as long as I stick to .ods, it doesn't matter whether I use LO or KSpread. So thanks to both ellanios82 and Carlos! I searched bugs.kde.org and found none about writing of .sxc files. TDE's KSpread makes no claim to be able to read, import, export or save as .sxc files. I guess I could file a bug to have the claim removed from the package, but would there be anyone who would care to fix it? I have to think Ilya has more important things to keep him busy. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
