Re: Converting Flashcalc spreadsheets to IBM-compatible



Wow. I thought I was the last soul on earth to own this program. If you can
import old VISICALC format files, you're set and all done. The format is
the same, but some formatting may be lost (cell width, etc...)

If not, and you have access to an Apple II:
        1. You can save them in DIF format (formulas get lost)
        2. You can run Appleworks version 2.x and load them as VISICALC
                A. Then save them as Appleworks format
                B. If you can read Appleworks format you're done.
                C. If not, use a Mac and read them into a Mac program
                   that reads Appleworks (WP Works and several others do)
                D. Then save it as LOTUS format (which the Mac does fine)
                E. Move to a PC Disk.
