This _isn't_ writing Excel sheets.

-outsheet- writes Comma/tab (or user specified) delimited files that are in
a style that spreadsheets are capable of reading.

If you were to do...

outsheet v1 v2 using "M:ABC.xls", replace

...and then open the file "M:ABC.xls" in a text-processor (such as Emacs or
NotePad) you would be able to see/make sense of the data.  You wouldn't be
able to make a lot of sense of a true Excel spreadsheet in a text-editor.

I've little experience with Excel, but you might get some leverage out of
using -xmlsave- or some of the other tools returned by the search -findit
xml-
