You can generate an Excel file on Solaris by converting the flat file with
uuencode(the data in the flat file has to be 'comma' separated).

Subject: Generating .xls files from Servlets
Folks,
There is a requirement in our project where I need to generate Excel
Spreadsheets on the fly on Unix (Solaris).
Currently I am generating ASCII flat file, FTPing it to Windows and
importing it in Excel.
To by-pass this cumbersome process I would like to generate .xls file (on
the fly), store it on server (Unix) and give a URL for viewing/downloading
it from browser.
So, I would like to know is it possible to generate .xls (Excel files) from
Servlets. If so, any pointers to that info is appreciated.
Thanks
Venkat
