may receive the following error message:
MacLinkPlus can translate "<filename>" into the Excel 5.0 worksheet
format ... However ...
The application "Microsoft Excel" was not available when this version
of the Translators was built. A newer version of MacLinkPlus may do a
better translation for you.

opening. When you click OK, Excel is started and the file is opened. The
string "(Converted)" (without the quotation marks), appears in the title
bar of the workbook.

may receive the following error message:
MacLinkPlus can translate "<filename>" into the Microsoft Word Mac 6.0
document format ... However ...
The application "Microsoft Word" was not available when this version
of the Translators was built. A newer version of MacLinkPlus may do a
better translation for you.
