Well, from the Gnumeric homepage:
"Gnumeric is intended to be a drop in replacement for commercial
spreadsheets. We are not attempting to clone existing applications.
However, we offer a customizable feel that attempts to minimize the
costs of transition. Gnumeric will import your existing Excel,
1-2-3, Applix, Sylk, XBase and Oleo files."
So I'm not sure why you say it's incompatible... But thanks for your
report, nonetheless. One other question: was your existing install of
Ximian the first time you've installed Ximian, or did you upgrade from
a previous version (and I'm most particularly interested if it was
Helix Code)?

Well, if you didn't BUY Q3A, you don't have it installed; it's
commercial software.
