Yes, but when i try to open it, excel 2000 says it is a mac file?(excel 1.x), Matlab is also not able to read it. does excel speak the true?
BTW, this is not a mac group.Apple File names don't have 3 letter extensions unless you make them so, since Apple file systems provide a file type field that's seperate from the file's name. Those extensions are typical for CP/M and its descendants (like Windows XP ;-).
Try opening it explicitly as "Lotus 1-2-3" file. If not, find someone who has a newer version of Lotus (it existed at least up to 1998 or so, after that I'm not sure) and save it from that version. Then try again.
Maybe you could also try opening it in a couple of other Office Suites when you find somebody who has them, like KOffice or StarOffice.
