Try star office on Linux.  It seems to handle Excel and Word docs
for me on Solaris, so it probably does on Linux too.

if I only had the skills to program some perl script to convert a
.csv file to XML I'd have done it already. However I have very little
experience in perl and virtually no time to learn it :-(
This particular transformation looks trivial.  I bet you could
learn enough Perl to do it in less than an hour.
And it would mean
that for each OS type a different interpreter would have to be written,
since perl for Windows appears to be too limited for most things at the
moment...
I think the same script would work fine in this case, actually.

(...) Since so far some "advanced" features are for Windows users only (Excel sales list for instance) I mentioned it, since all these neat things simply don't work for me. I also had some problems browsing the site, although most of those are gone (...) (24 years ago, 8-Sep-00, to lugnet.market.services)
