Old versions of Excel

I stored stuff that I now need 15 years ago and it will
not open on a modern power mac.

Can anyone advise how to access old Excel files
stored in 1989 in Excel 1.X. for Macintosh.?

Is there another program that will open such antique
files?

Thanks.
 
Unfortunately, I haven't seen anything that will do that for years,
other than getting a copy of XL1 or XL2/2.1 and running it on an
*old* Mac (I've probably still got the XL 0.9 disks buried somewhere
under 19 years of debris, but nothing to run it on). I'd guess that
older versions of MacLink would translate it as well.

If you have a really destitute school district around, they may have
a MacSE30 with XL2.1 loaded. Macs tend to have a longer service life
than Wintel machines, but that's pushing it...

For resources, try Googling "Old Macs".
