You aren't going to get many responses with that attitude. First of
all, if someone is looking for parts they generally do a search for the
part numbers, and second, Excel is not a good format to distribute a
list with. No one I know around here has Excel on their computer, and
definitely wouldn't buy it to read a single list of parts.

You can download a free viewer for Excel. It lets you read it without

editing, like Acrobat Reader

We went through this a couple months ago with a guy posting his list
of microwave components. Some people don't want to keep adding software
for a one time use, others are using a computer where that work, and are
not allowed to install software for any reason.

Its your choice, but a simple text or HTML file would draw more
attention. You can get free software to create PDF documents, which is a
common format. It is simple to install and use. It acts like a printer
driver, so when you print a document, it asks for a filename and lets
you chose which directory or folder you want to print it to. I use the
Ghostscript shell from http://www.pdf995.com/ It was freeware when i got
it, and it works quite well.

OTOH, I find Excel to be a valuable engineering tool, though I'd
not buy it personally. IIRC, Open Office has an Excel
equivalent.

In this case I think the "seller" has the obligation to format
the information into a commonly readable format. Print the
spreadsheet to text or to a .PDF would be the obvious choices.

BTW, what do you do with companies that require resumes be in
Word format (of all things).

Copy the plain text and paste it into a program that will generate a
basic file that Word will read. More and more places reject anything
other than a plain text file because of virus problems, and the fact
that they don't read them. They go to a computer to read and reject.
Other companies require you to copy and paste it into their online
application process, so it goes straight to their HR program. I have
been fighting the "NEW and improved" HR system for over two years now,
trying to find a job. Around here, 90 percent of the job offers are
nursing, or medical related. The rest want you to be able to stand for
eight hours or more, and lift up to 150 pounds all day long. Not
possible when you have disabilities. The only company around here that
still hires ETs is Lockheed-Martin, and you have to know someone to get
in the door. You should read the bull they list for job openings. I now
people who worked there, and they were poor techs, at best. Yet if you
believe the job listings, everyone has a degree before they are hired
for any position.

It's amazing that HR replaces people, and then programs replace
HR. With the "affirmative action" rules, I can see why though.
After all "computers are colorblind".

My copy was for Win 3.11. I saw a some uses for it, but I used to
write a lot of custom programs from a set of modules so it didn't take
long to put a program together. The menu, I/O routines, sort functions
and about 25 other functions were already built and tested, so all I had
to do was write the formulas into the program, name and save it, and I
was ready to go.

I have a hard time walking, and I have been asked if I was drunk. I
haven't been declared disabled, yet. It has been two years of stumbling
around, and falling down because of circulation problems, but I still
haven't been assigned a doctor by the VA. This time they say it will be
the middle of march, but the keep changing appointments. The local VA
rep told me they have a long list of jobs for disabled vets, and they
can't even tell me what they are, till I am at least declared partially
disabled. I have carpal tunnel syndrome, nerve damage, I am on
medication for diabetes, and for the pain from the carpal tunnel. The
last time I saw the numbers, my vision was 20/200 and 20/400. What more
do they need to admit I am not in good health?

Actually, I think mine told me '97 today. <shrug>

I've used Excel for everything from logic simulation, to tracing
logic thought designs, to assigning pins on rather dense FPGAs.
I've seen some other rather interesting simulations using Excel
too. It is the only program from BillG that I consider best-of-
breed.

I wrote an Excel demo a few years ago that demonstrated ECC. It
really is rather powerful, once you get used to it as an
engineering tool.

I'll take your word for it. The last time I seriously looked
(2000ish) it was all Word. Text makes huge sense. ...though I
can't impress them with my pretty 24# paper. ;-)

Nothing has changed. HR types have always been the bottom-
feeders. The only thing remotely new is that they've be
distilled down, to a crappy program evidently.

I found the comments on my excel list relevant having tried to email the list
to someone & getting rejected by Firewalls.

I ended up pasting & listing as suggested.

The original idea of excel was to add up the components, packs etc lazy but it
works

Excel is a great tool, but it is not the end-all. I wish I knew
of a way to automate the export data though. I have several
worksheets that have to be output as text and of course I want to
save the whole workbook before exiting. It's not easy, or at
least I haven't found the trick to doing it at one swell foop.
