hello list, hello andy - thanks for your reply i don't know anything about NDAs. i never got in direct touch with such stuff. in my earlier days (must be about 8 or 9 years back) i used to use some products from MS. currently i'm only oppressed by licenses like GPL, LGPL, MPL and similar ones;)
the documentation i'm refering to, thats the only and just slightly helpful documentation about biff 7/8 formats is the one at http://www.zuhl.com/~mikez/Info/ExcelFmt/index.html as far as i could recherche this IS a excerpt from the 'excel 97 developers kit' ... but maybe there is a lot more detailed information available in some other chapters!? what i'm looking for is the description of the bytes marked as '(reserved)' of the doper structures mentioned at the bottom of http://www.zuhl.com/~mikez/Info/ExcelFmt/s59d58.htm (especially the string doper reserved fields). don't want to waste money for a product/company thats definitely useless. so if someone of you could check for existence of the missing puzzle parts it would eventually help me to save money and the time for waiting for the book:) thanks in advance and a nice evening andreas --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mailing List: http://jakarta.apache.org/site/mail2.html#poi The Apache Jakarta POI Project: http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/
