Bought a program that needs either one of the
following,Excell,Lotos1-2-3 or ASCII.
Is there something in Windows XP that can be replace for
any of the above.

THANKS-DAN
 
No, you'll need to purchase either Microsoft Excel or Office XP.

Excel and Lotus are spreadsheet programs that you have to pay for
(although a free viewer for Excel spreadsheets is available at the
Microsoft website (www.microsoft.com). ASCII is a standard way of
representing characters in a computer. Any text processor or word
processor can read and write ASCII files (even Notepad).

Can you give us the exact language that you're seeing in the
documentation for the product you bought (and maybe tell us what the
product is). Anything you can tell us will help us to figure out how
you can use your program.

Excel and Lotus are formats used by those application spreadsheet
programs, and you would need one or the other to use them properly. But
ASCII is simply a basic text file. My guess would be that this program
is wanting to read data that has been output by a spreadsheet - if one
is in 'CSV' (comma separated values) that would probably do. It is
really up to the program that produces the spreadsheet to save it ion
one or other of those formats
