thanks so much for the rapid response!

unfortunately, this doesn't work: gunzip says "not in gzip format".  the
size of the file is within less than 0.1 percent of the original .xls
file, which leads me to think that it's in that format (or close to it).
but neither gnumeric nor ooffice can read it (unsupported format,
general i/o error, etc.).

what is the .gsf-save-?????? format, anyway?

thanks!
