Apologies in advance, since this is, perhaps, an extremely basic question.
Please respond by email. If there is lots of interest (doubtful) I will
post a summary of responses.
We (our administrative staff actually) have a few (don't laugh) Lisas.
They're using LisaCalc to do our financial stuff. This makes me nervous,
and I'd like to get our data out of the Lisas and onto something more
standard and supportable (PC-DOS, UNIX, VAX, whatever).
My questions are:
1) Can LisaCalc emit some sort of usable data? SYLK or DIF files
would be ideal; a plain ASCII print file of the spreadsheet
data would be OK. I'm more concerned about the data than the
formulae.
2) How do I get the bits out of the Lisa and onto a real computer?
Is there a KERMIT for the Lisa? XMODEM? Something? Anything?
(Buying network hardware for the Lisa is NOT an option.)
Thanks in advance...
