John,
but gnumeric can read .xls files fine, where's the advantage in the
conversion ?
The gnumeric format btw is just ascii text compressed with gzip and
according to the manual is actually xml . . . so logically if you could
convert the xls spreadsheet to xml and then compress it with gzip you would
have yourself a .gnumeric file. Wait a sec, I say a function before for
converting a recordset to xml. hmmm, sorry just typing out loud.

Anyone know if I can convert between fileformats, with starting up a GUI ?
Simple stuff, like twenty .xls files, that I want as gnumeric format...
