I need to extract the information from an Excel file (xls) in Biff4 format, and Apache POI, although it is great for reading Excel files of version 97-2003, does not help much with these older versions.
What other library can I use to read these older files?
I think you might consider the solution posted here on Slack even. Link

The solution presented in that question remains very complex. HSSF is only used for files of versions 97-2003. The Oldexcelextractor it’s still too complicated and it would require me to juggle a lot.
