Gnumeric comes with the ssconvert utility, but that does not appear to support .QPW files: http://projects.gnome.org/gnumeric/doc/file-format-qpro.shtml I don't see any indication that Excel or OO.org's Calc support the .QPW format either. It would appear that you can download a trial of Corel's WordPerfect Office suite, within which Quattro is bundled. You should be able to open the files in that application and then save them to .XLS formats: http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite/ca/en/Content/1152796555406 HTH, Marc Schwartz ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
