converting/viewing excel files?
« on: August 09, 2007, 10:28:40 AM »
Hi.
 I'm trying to convert an .xls file using xlhtml, to view it on my Amiga:
http://aminet.net/util/conv/xlhtml.lha
 I'm using the filename as the only argument and i'm getting the message: "xlhtml: cole: No such file or directory" What is the meaning of this??
 With older versions of xlhtml i don't get any messages. The CPU becomes 100% busy, the program appears to consume memory but nothing else happens. I waited for 15 minutes and then i "break" it. Is there something wrong with this utility? Is there anyone who succeeded in converting excel files with it?

 Also, is there an Amiga program capable of handling excel files directly?

 Ok, i tried to open the file with TurboCalc about 40 minutes ago. The HD LED flickers constantly, TurboCalc keeps the CPU at 100% and the mouse pointer is permanently busy at the TurboCalc screen. Besides all these the TC window remains as it was when i first launched it. Empty.. Should i wait more?  I think it has entered an infinite loop.. :-?

 Here is the zipped .xls i'm trying to view:

 Perhaps it's too recent for xlhtml and TurboCalc. Could anyone try it with these programs and tell me if they can handle it or not. Maybe i'm just doing something wrong.

 Ok, thanks. Give it a try when you have the time.
 Did you use any extra arguments with xlhtml to make it work or just the filename? Is it the same version with the Aminet one?
