Using Applications Other Than Microsoft Excel

You can use applications other than Microsoft Excel (such as Lotus 1-
2-3 or Quattro Pro) to open and manipulate the Expense data on your
computer. The data file is named “Expense.txt,” and is stored in the
Expense folder, within the folder containing the Palm III organizer
user data.

Expense data in the Expense.txt file is in tab-delimited format.

Expense File Details

these four distinct groups of data if you open the file with a
spreadsheet application.

Expense data, and lists the countries that

and lists the expenses for each category.
