Hello, I maintain Gnumeric and have run into a problems when writing xls files larger than 13-14 meg. MS excel can read them, but promptly corrupts them. I had hoped this was a windows bug, but just in case I installed an older copy of cross over office with office 2k. That combination produced exactly the same sort of corruption. That is likely good news to wine developers, your emulation is excellent. It also means that the problem is clearly on my end.
A sample file is http://www.gnome.org/~jody/bigfile.xls.bz2 (bunzip2 and keep a copy because it gets corrupted)
Loading it into MS Excel works smoothly, but subsequent reloads fail and the file is corrupt. It seems like the extended meta block allocation tables are being lost for some reason.
Are there any OLE2 file format experts about that might have some insight ?
Many Thanks Jody
