Hi, Im writing an application witch outputs to an Excel file. Csv files just
dont cut it, I need to use XLS files. The app must be able to run on a bare
bones 95, no excel installed, so COM an simular technologies are not an
option. I would like the XLS file to be in th Excell 95 format.

Currently I use the Excel 2.1 format, but my dokumentation is limited, so I
cant even make this antient format work, Spesificly when I use frosen panes,
and include the folowing records: BOF, LABLE, WORD, NUMBER, WINDOW1,
WINDOW2, PANE, SELECTION, I get a damaged file error message in Excel(The
file opens correctly).

The information I'm intrested in is:
    Description of a newer File Format, preferably 95.
    In depth dokumentation of XLS 2.1, spesificly required records when
using PANE.

I hope someone can help me, in advanse: Thanks.
