Cliff: The Multiplan spreadsheet data files are coded for use by Multiplan, not Lotus 1-2-3, or any of the other spreadsheet programs. Built into Multiplan is a conversion program that writes a data file out as a coded ASCII file call a SYLK file. Convert a MSPLAN .CO file into a SYLK .DO file and transfer it over to your DOS computer via Lapdos II. Then, if you have the SYLK to 1-2-3 conversion utility you can translate the SYLK file into a 1-2-3 file. You might also be able to do a direct file conversion from MSPLAN to 1-2-3 via a direct conversion utility. I don't remember if Lotus packed one in with 1-2-3 but perhaps you can find one in the public domain or shareware market. Call "The Software Labs" at 800-359-9998 and see what they offer. I've purchased from this company several times in the past. They are a quality company. -Rick-
