Updating a csv file held on a unix box with excel running on windows
Hi, my question is quite simple: Can I update a csv file which is held on a unix box (and which a script on the same box uses) with Microsoft Excel running in a windows environment? Or, is there a free spreadsheet package available to run in unix that will update my csv file. I know it's easy to create a csv file using Excel, but how do I access it on a UNIX box if the file is saved in Windows?

Any help appreciated!
