Can't open .xls file

I am trying to open an .xls spread sheet file with an old
office 95 excel. It won't open. How can I open this file?

The workbook is too new for your version????

If all you want to do is view the file, you could use the free viewer from MS:
http://office.microsoft.com/downloads/2000/xlviewer.aspx

An alternative: You may want to download a 60 meg file from OpenOffice.org.
I'm not sure it supports all the features that xl does, though.

http://www.openoffice.org, also available on a CD.

===========
You may also want to go back to the author and ask if they could save it as a
version that xl95 could read.
