Hi Gnumeric mailing list,
I have about 4,000 spreadsheets in Lotus 1-2-3 format *.wk4. I would like to 
automate converting them in to a format Excel 2013 can read.

I have gnumeric 1.12.9.

When I run ssconvert on sample file, I run:

ssconvert ./22250.BAK ./22250.xlsx -T 'Gnumeric_Excelxlsx2'

This runs for a few seconds and I get a few hundred errrors that look like:

** (ssconvert:2912): WARNING **: Unknown record 0x17 of length 14

The number 2912  (behind 'ssconvert:') and the length varies depending on the 
spreadsheet used for input.
When I open the spreadsheets in Gnumeric, spreadsheet contents are displayed 
correctly except spreadsheet names are not retained, and certain random cells 
are empty rather than having any value. I don't get an error message or NaN in 
the cells, they're plain empty.

For instance, in a spreadsheet, cell B20 might have a value '$50,200.12' in the 
spreadsheet in WK4 format when opened in Lotus.
When opening in Gnumeric or after running ssconvert, most other cells display 
correctly, but that cell is empty.

Do I have any flags I can feed ssconvert or Gnumeric when opening the source 
spreadsheets to troubleshoot ~5% of cells with data failing to retain data?

Many thanks,
Ben
