 Subject:       Re: Whose is that program to spawn that *.xls files? 
  I'm going to be flamed by all my linux-using
friends for knowing this one...
 .xls is from Microsoft Excel. It's and eXceL Sheet - i.e. the spreadsheet
 itself. The last time I used Excel - about 10 years ago - there was also
 .xlm for the macro files 
You're forgiven... :)  I figured out that I could search juse *.xls
and it clued me in and thought if I could try the M$ site to see if I
could d/l the freeware excel reader and yes it is!
Thanks all.
