Opening old, old worksheets

[Bob Embry]

I have some worksheets that were last modified in 1986 or so. Their Creator
is XCEL and Type is XLBN.

My current version (10.1) of Office won't open them.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Unfortunately, I believe that XLBN indicates that your worksheets are
Excel 1 files. I've not found anything other than XL1 or XL2 that opens
them - if you can find an old, old, machine with that software...
