Please Help : (1) I am interested in joining this effort as a USER

(2) I am searching for a way to convert ( translate) several hundred
files prepared under Quattro Pro ( dos , "for windows" and /or Corel
version QP10).
I am aware that it is possible to change each QPRO file to an Excel
Format by simply Opening each file and then Saving AS excel ( xls ? ).
Would this make it possible to then use Open Source Calc to add
to / delete from or modify each file.. ?
Alternatively, is there a way to convert directly ?
I'm not aware of any way to do a direct conversion, but I've used the
other approach successfully on several files. I found doing a QPro
Save As to Excel v5/v7 format (I think that was the choice that worked)
gave results I could successfully open in OOo Calc. The results usually
were not perfect but I could then edit to get what I wanted. Some
QP-functions translated ok; others required hand-conversion. Macros
didn't convert at all. I could probably give you some advice/tips if
you decide to go this way. I suspect we should do this by private email
unless there is more interest out there than l think.
