Yes Here is what I used.

excel /read c:\temp\book6.xls

i found the answer a few months aggo att the microsoft webpage

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ex...580301033.aspx

Unfortunately, arrogant Microsoft won't display that page because I'm
using a real browser instead of Internet Explorer. There was
something about checking to see whether I have Office 2007 -- itself
pretty darn arrogant.

I don't know which real browser you were using, but that page will
display in Mozilla's Firefox.

The real browser I'm using is Mozilla. As I mentioned, it just
displayed a page saying Microsoft was checking whether I have Office
2007, and stuck there.
