Heh.  They've given me a spreadsheet account.

Trouble is, the first .xls file I tried didn't work unless I saved it
in Excel 5.0 format, and even then the formatting was messed up.
(Though I suppose that could have been more to do with the transfer to
Excel 5.0 than anything)

The formulas were OK though.  But I do think this needs a little work...
(though my expectations weren't too high, it is a beta after all...)
