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 :) >________________________________ > From: Brian Cottingham <[email protected]> >To: [email protected] >Sent: Wednesday, 13 February 2013, 18:41 >Subject: [libreoffice-users] How to convert tab-separated file to XLS from the >command line > >I have a tab-separated file that I'm trying to convert to XLS from the >command line.
