I found I was able to modify a supposedly password-locked Excel file
without the password, with Gnumeric (a free *nix clone of Excel) and
Applix (a commercial *nix clone of Office).
To test this further (since I don't do Windoze) would anyone happen to
have some non-sensitive locked spreadsheets that they could share with me?
You can get the spreadsheet from http://horsfall.org/ft100memory0504.xls
(but be gentle, as it's a slow link; there's nothing interesting there).
