[Lotus 123 files]
A friend asked me if I could find out how to open these files.
Openoffice doesnt seem to do the job.
That's news to me. I routinely open the .wk1 files generated by
Lotus 123
(on my HP 200LX palmtop) in Open Office. Just use File/Open like you
would for a regular Open Office spreadsheet.
Admittedly, the spreadsheets I make on my HP aren't obscenely
complex, but
I;ve had no real trouble opening them. What sort of problems are you
having?
OpenOffice (OO) calc does seem to have a converter for Lotus 1-2-3
files, but I have not needed to use it myself. OO opens Excel
spreadsheets just fine, with the exception that it cannot open those
of my wife's spreadhseets which have more than 33,000 or so rows (the
actual number is 32,767 or so.) She has numerous Excel documents with
more than 60,000 rows. And complains that Excel can't do as many rows
as she wants, too.

Try Gnumeric, Bob. It does handle more rows than oo.o and can take wk1
format.
