You know us back woods people we think a file is just something we sharpen an ax with.

You need a spreadsheet program called Microsoft Excel. It is bundled with Microsoft Office and so many people have it installed on their PCs. I am not aware of any shareware product that will open the spreadsheet. --Bruiser

Here's a link for a viewer program if you don't have Excel or Office. Should work with win95 & greater.

Many other programs will work under windows such as Quick View or Quick View Pro. (I think Quick View is included with windows but many people don't install it--look under Add-Remove Programs, then Windows Setup, then Accessories. Click on the Details button & see if it is checked.)

Keep in mind these progs let you view the file, not alter it. Hope this helps.
