Thus, if you have to port your complex spreadheets to something else that needs your effort, do it to something with the greatest chance of lasting.
old formats are like old hardware, computers evolve very fast and one have to move archives to new version to be safe. I still have floppies in a drawer, and floppy writer, but It's only as ultimate solution and I can't be sure it will work. But I have usb ones that may work some time more. I had to use last year very old staroffice files, and (from memory) Apache OpenOffice had more import filters than LibreOfice at this moment. Now I tend to save most documents as pdf together with the native format, because at least I hope to be able to see and print them. (better if they are paper printed :-)). Felix do like Quattro (scan the list archives :-)), but he may be the only one. The only real solution for such problem is to *anticipate* them - I my memory, Quattro compressed formats are the most difficult to read (this compression is proprietary, nothing to see with zip or tar). But in *calculation* programs, very often used with formulas and macros, reuse is condemned to fail. I have a lot of HP-41 programs (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP-41C), and I still have one (for memories, but it still works), buy since then I have https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HP-42S that I use routinely and that can run HP-41 programs, but I do not expect any important use of them... Sale for KDE3... do not expect to use some kde3 config in the near future. It may work, but it's not sure at all. Learning the new is the only way to be prepared. I was puzzled yesterday, making some cleaning on my wiki to find a kde4 trick as old as 2008 (http://dodin.info/wiki/pmwiki.php?n=Doc.Kde4) my 2 cents jdd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
