I dump csv files and convert to true excel with perl using
Spreadsheet::WriteExcel module. Once scripted it's pretty painless and
automated.

Subject: [U2] Building an Excel File
We are running UniData on a UNIX platform. We create tab-delimited txt files
(and tab delimited txt files with xls extensions) all the time that users open
with Excel. Many of these jobs are run in the middle of the night or in a
trigger program. In all cases, there is no direct user interaction building
these files.
We also have some XML files that are coded so that Excel opens them with
formatting, colors, filters, etc.
Unfortunately, our BB users and iPhone users can not open these files up in a
meaningful way.
Is there a way to build a TRUE Excel file without any user intervention from
UniData or UNIX?
