  I have a file in Excel binary format that Excel is unable to read
completely without crashing (ID=02). Naturally, the file contains
valuable data. The file is openable and can be scanned OK with a
disk sector editor. Does anyone know how I may:
  a) Find out the Excel binary format so I can reconstitute the
data.        -or-
  b) Know of a Mac application that is capable of reading Excel files,
hopefully without barfing on this one like Excel does?
  Replies via mail, and thanks in advance.
