Latest version of Excel that will read Excel 5 files

Just to be sure there's no misunderstanding, I meant Excel 5.0, the
version that preceded Office 95. Excel 5.0, when packaged with Office,
was part of Office 4.3.
 
Excel 5 sounds pretty old to me,
and some people accuse ME of being
stuck in the 1940's.

Typically, though, the rule is you can
covert an older version to a newer version,
but not visa versa.

If you know where the version 5 spreadsheets
are, you should be able to open them in Excel
2003, and choose "Save As" Excel 2003 spreadsheet.

Hope that works.
