 OpenOffice claims it can read Quattro Pro 6.0 'wb2' files, but maybe
they are different to .qpw files. MS Excel claims some Quattro Pro
readability - I've just read something about wb1 files. Maybe Gnumeric
can read them? What have you tried?

 Perhaps if you put a representative file somewhere we can download and try?
