Excel version of VDF2XLS

[ClaudeM]

Hello Everybody!

I want to convert my VDF files into Excel files so I can read these in Scilab (readxls). VensimDSSReferenceSupplement-Guide says that the format file of VDF2XLS is : Excel version 4.0.

I want to know if this is the only xls format possible, because these cannot be read by scilab functions. I would need Excel 2003 format files

Thanks anyway
Claude

Generally the best strategy is to use VDF2TAB and then do any additional conversion outside of Vensim. Since this creates a pure UTF8 text file it is easy to read with other applications.
