Hi :)
I think the MS 95 format is still .xls and can be read and used by subsequent
versions of both MSO and all versions of LO. So i think just don't worry about
your 2nd point.
LibreOffice can read/write tsv as well as csv but it's just not the default.
I'm not sure how to force it to change from csv to tsv on the command-line.
Apols and regards from
Tom :)
