Description David J Craigon 2004-12-01 10:29:34 UTC 
You can specify the exporter in ssconvert (which file format to export, in
effect) with -E, however you cannot specify the importer (which file format to
read) with -I - you just have to rely on autodetection. This means, for
instance, you can't specify the use of the SAX importer rather than the DOM one.

This patch adds a -I option which allows the importer to be specified. Use
patch -p1< patchfile in the top of the gnumeric tree
