I downloaded an Excel file, only to discover that the version it was made in was '97 (I think). I only have Office 95. Would anyone here be willing to let me e-mail them the file, save it as an Excel 95 file, and then e-mail it back to me? Thanks. ---

Sure thing. Go ahead and send it. I’ll let you know if I have any problems. ---

The company wasn’t even around when Office 95 came out. If you want, I’ll be more than happy to do it for you. 🙂 Zev Steinhardt ---

Thanks, everyone. Jazzmine e-mailed me directly and did it for me. Zev: The answer to your question is that indeed Kozmo uses Office 97. What happened was that I had gotten laid off on Thursday. I didn’t have any floppies handy to save this file, which was personal and on my hard drive, so I uploaded it to my Geocities account. I downloaded it here at home, and then discovered that I saved it wrongly. Now I’ve got it though. Thanks, everyone! Chaim Mattis Keller ---

Were you laid off because you refused to sign the information disclosure agreement? ---

I hope you find another job soon. Zev Steinhardt
