But still you have to have MS Office apps to open you extracts from zip. I meaned compilers for VBA to convert my works to exe files. And its should run after I copy its to other systems without MSOffince. For example I have sheets with some functions and I don't need other functions from Excel97. I may copy this little file to an old 386 or 486 machine to run it on Win95 or DOS. I don't know what is "Baler" utility - have never heared about it.
