A Linux freeware to convert text file to Excel?

[T S]

I'm looking for a Linux freeware that will convert an ascii text file
into an MS Excel (.xls) file. I remember some months ago Gordan Darling
posted a link to such a program. Does anyone remember that?

Thanks

gnumeric includes a utility called 'ssconvert' which does simple
command line conversions to and from any format Gnumeric supports.

Nope. It's a freeware group. Freeware for any platform is welcome.

Are you a Windows troll or a freeware fan?
