previous versions of excel will open wk4 files and earlier (wk3,wk2,etc.) but
no verision of excel will open a .123 file(millennium edition ie y2k).
technically excel stopped supporting lotus a long time ago and now has
stopped support lotus all togeather, in micorsoft's monolithic glory. grrr.
there was a time that excel copied lotus down to the date bug that lotus had.
my how times have changed.
excel is not better than lotus, just more popular.
microsoft doesn't have better programming, just better marketing.
i'll get off my soap box now.
