excel format: SUPBOOK records

[Urban Widmark <urban svenskatest se>]

Hello list

In plugins/excel/ms_excel_read_supporting_wb, around line 3426, it says:

	/* TODO TODO TODO : Figure out what this is and if it is
	 * useful.  We always get a record length of FOUR ??
	 * even when there are supposedly 10 tabs...
	 * Is this related to EXTERNNAME???
	 */
(from 0.45, but also current cvs)

Is that comment old or is that the current state of gnumeric/excel-plugin
knowledge? (on this particular record)


If you already know what a SUPBOOK is for, I'll ask a different question.
How far are plans/implementation of references to data in other
"workbooks" (files, whatever they might be called) ? It doesn't work for
me, but then maybe I'm doing something wrong.


Almost everything else (that I want) seems to be working fine (the only
exception I can think of are the missing borders in printouts). Very nice
work.

(Ok, I haven't tested more than 2 simple sheets, but it still looks very
 good ... and I don't mean only the excel import :)
