I am trying to find a Macintosh 
spreadsheet program which can load 
"DIF" files and reconvert to "SYLK" 
files. 

I have a NEC "Starlet Laptop" computer 
which uses a version of "Calc to Go" 
spreadsheet. This program creates its 
own unique format files which can only 
be read by itself. However it can also 
store the files as "DIF" files which 
can be loaded into a Lotus 1-2-3 or 
similar spreadsheet program. 

My problem is that the Mac spreadsheet 
programs such as Jazz, Excell, Crunch 
and Multiplan cannot interpret and load
a "DIF" style of file. Therefore I 
cannot exchange spreadsheet info and 
templates from my NEC "Starlet Laptop" 
computer with Excell on my Macintosh.

If anyone knows of any programs which 
can load both (SYLK or WKS) and DIF 
files or convert one to the other, I 
would deeply appreciate it if you would
let me know!!

Thanks for your help.
