OK... I can buy that. How to fix them? (See below.)

No, not at all possible:

	1. Installed RH8.

	2. Installed SO6.

	3. Installed patches to RH8 (thru, say, 2/15).

	4. Installed Product Patch 2 to SO6.

Up through this part, everything works.

	5. On or around 3/4, update more RH8 patches.

	6. XLS files from SO6 no longer readable by Excel.

Tried GNUmeric. Was able to open one of my files; although formatting
was odd and I had to go change fonts to make it readable, overall it did
work. Still no luck sending the same file to six people with Excel.

Thanks for the help...
