Maptitude - http://research.umbc.edu/~roswell/maptitude.html
I tried that, and the save to bin gave me columns that truncated all the
decimals. So ... no way to read in an Excel
file with coordinate info.
Someone on the list did manage to do this, and all the decimals are there.
But not mine. Although - I have had this work before in EXCEL. Not now.

Unfortunately, Maptitude always chooses to give real numbers only
two decimal digits when saving an Excel sheet to a dbf file.
If you instead save it as a bin file, you get the arbitrary double
number precision, and you can choose Modify-Table to show however
many digits you want.
