I have many quattro pro spreadsheets and no quattro pro. Is there a way to access the data using R, or any other solution that anyone can think of? thanks, -- Stephen Sefick Let's not spend our time and resources thinking about things that are so little or so large that all they really do for us is puff us up and make us feel like gods.

MS Excel claims some Quattro Pro readability - I've just read something about wb1 files. Maybe Gnumeric can read them? What have you tried? Perhaps if you put a representative file somewhere we can download and try? Barry
