I hope that net.micro is the appropriate place for a question
about a problem using the Multiplan spreadsheet.  Here goes . . .

I have Multiplan available to me on several different machines
and operating systems.  At the office I use it on an Altos running
Xenix.  At home it's running on a Burroughs B25 workstation under
BTOS.

Here is my problem.  I would like to be able to take copies of
my spreadsheet files from the office and load them into my computer
at home so that I can continue my work at home on occasion [no
wisecracks about being a workaholic, please! :-)].  I have tried
doing this.  I have no problem physically transferring the file to
the B25, but when I try to load the data file into Multiplan
at home, I get an error message telling me that it is not a
Multiplan file.  Apparently Multiplan saves its files in different
formats on the two different operating systems.  Is there any
way in Multiplan to make it save the file in a format that will
be portable to the other machine?

Thanks in advance for any help.
