I will bear the possibility in mind.  I still don't know how I found 
time to write my present scripts.  I'm assuming that KSpread will be 
able to open the smaller file.  It was being unable to open the file 
that stopped me in my tracks previously.  I understand that problem will 
be remedied in 2.0.0.  Knowing now how close that is makes it more of a 
priority to convert the scripts.
