Using a Model T-based spreadsheet "data" with a MS-DOS or Mac-based spreadsheet
program is all dependent on the nature of the data.  To give you a general
statement as "do it this way" is premature at this point.    1) What is the
nynamics of your application?
 
2) What is the nature of your data?
 
3) Will you need to move the data from the Model T to the DOS computer, only,
or both directions?
 
4) How much data are we talking about and what is its growth rate?
 
The dynamics of the application and the nature of the data is far more
important than the tools you use to manipulate that data.
