Can't see your sheet, but...

Well, I could not, for a long time, view Mathcad 14 and 15 sheets. Unitil now.

For those of you who are in the same position: see attachment. Download, unpack, and execute it.

Yes, it's an .exe file. But go ahead and, before use, test it for viruses to ascertain it contains none.

I did not put any in, so please tell me if you find any.

On small sheet files it runs quickly, but larger files take time (seconds, minutes, tens of minutes). You'll just have to be patient sometimes.

Oh, and it does have bugs (couldn't name you one now, but I'm sure they are in there),

and things it can't do (yet...). It's a start, so far. (There's an 'info' text that you can double-click in the bottom-left corner)

But most of all, enjoy it.

    Updated.

    - Will now handle Prime sheets to inform the Prime version it was created with (= the least version required to open it.)

    - Improved feedback in the process of handling Mathcad 13...15 sheet files.

    To handle Prime files a couple of DLL's are now required. They are contained in the .ZIP file.

    Installation: Unzip the contents (1 .EXE and 3 .DLL files) to your directory of choice and enjoy.

    Updated.

    - Will now handle compressed sheet files (.xmcdz).

    - Better feedback in the process, and afterwards.

        Dear LucMeekes, 

         

        Thanks a lot for developing this small application that opens old MathCad files. In my case I have some old MathCads worksheets with many useful calculations I want to retrieve. However, the collapsed regions are not possible to be opened and in most cases the key information is lost. Also, the error of region "Found a region tag named 'reference', please report" avoids opening the entire document.

         

        Any new update of your fantastic program?

         

        A million thanks!

         

        G.

        Can you post the worksheet file that caused the message?

        (Or send it via private message...)
