Latest official Archon (1.5a) doesn't work on latest OpenOffice or LibreOffice

Can't we just get archon in modern, open format ?

Always when you use shit m$ products, problems arise.

Well, it's not just an MS problem, I'm also getting weird issues even if I save and work in .ods format; OpenOffice and LibreOffice have compaibility issues with each other (at least on this level, since Archon uses some non-trivial function stuff). And of course, Excel is different in yet other ways. Sigh.

Also: I'm not sure how the vekn.net Archon upload handles .ods format. (?)

Ok, I managed to create a new .xls version (1.5b) of the Archon which now seems to work with the latest OpenOffice and LibreOffice (at least on Linux). The problem is, I have no idea of whether it works in other environments and/or Excel itself -- I don't have access to a copy at the moment.

You can download a copy from

www.orava.org/vekn/thearchon1.5b.zip

and try it out. Let me know if it works for you

Please do not use this to run a tournament before making sure it actually works on your setup (OS & office software combo)!

For reference, the changes are:

- Fixed the data validation on Tournament Info cell B11 to be numeric 3-4
- Changed the INDIRECT formulas on the Table N sheets to use '.' instead of '!'
- Some tweaks to line heights etc to fix display bugs probably caused by .xls file import/export in OpenOffice
