Converting excel to text

Is it possible to convert an excel file into a text file using standard HP UNIX commands? Possibly in K Shell?

Not sure if it helps, may be you can try saving the file as csv or tab delimited text file

There may be better ways that others may post

Sssow thanx for the info but the input must be an xls file.

I dont know if it runs on hpux or anything about its dependencies, but maybe its worth a try? I dont think you will get any results with standard commands here.
