2003 xls files it doesn't work
for 2003 xls files it doesn't work. has a "No end record." in method "deserialize".
is the 2003 xls format a standard zip file? A quick glance at google indicated it's some other proprietary binary format but I haven't checked if that was actually the case for these old files.
xlsx files should work as they are standard zip archives.
if it works perfectly with xlsx, only that I am creating a module for excel file imports and with xls I have an error in "No end record." then would the decompression have to be binary?
the format for .xls files is called BIFF8 - it's not a compression and wouldn't fit in this library. If you want to use it you will either have to write a parsing library yourself or use some existing C/C++ library in D, e.g.
