Yes and no. For some developers / hackers the output of BiffViewer might
suffice.
I don't think the typical manager / secretary / data entry person (which is
unfortunately my contact in this case) can be convinced that this goobledigook
is actually the content of their precious Excel file ;)

However, I have some more output from BiffViewer

Offset=0x00000000(0) recno=1 sid=0x0809 size=0x0010(16)
[BOF RECORD]
    .version  = 0x0600
    .type     = 0x0005 (workbook)
    .build    = 0x1FE9
    .buildyear= 1997
    .history  = 0x0000C0C9
    .reqver   = 0x00000306
[/BOF RECORD]

Offset=0x00000014(20) recno=2 sid=0x00E1 size=0x0002(2)
[INTERFACEHDR]
    .codepage = 0x04B0
[/INTERFACEHDR]

Offset=0x0000001A(26) recno=3 sid=0x00C1 size=0x0002(2)
[MMS]
    .addMenu        = 0
    .delMenu        = 0
[/MMS]

Offset=0x00000020(32) recno=4 sid=0x00E2 size=0x0000(0)
[INTERFACEEND/]

Offset=0x00000024(36) recno=5 sid=0x005C size=0x0070(112)
[WRITEACCESS]
    .name = Dirk
[/WRITEACCESS]

Offset=0x00000098(152) recno=6 sid=0x0042 size=0x0002(2)
[CODEPAGE]
    .codepage        = 4b0
[/CODEPAGE]

Offset=0x0000009E(158) recno=7 sid=0x0161 size=0x0002(2)
[DSF]
    .options = 0x0000
[/DSF]

Offset=0x000000A4(164) recno=8 sid=0x01C0 size=0x0000(0)
[EXCEL9FILE] (0x1C0)
[/EXCEL9FILE]

...


so I think I was right about that the file was rather old (1997) and from
ancient Excel version. However this doesn't help me about how to create a
sample Excel file which shows the problem ;)
