Yes.

As far as I know Geocalc is a commercial (not public) Geos application with
no counterparts in DOS , Windows, Unix or MacOS. I am not sure of its import
capabilities, but I am fairly sure that the closest output to Excel format is CSV.

On the Win95/NT side of things the best suggestion I have received is
to use "Clip 'n Go", which allows limited transfer between clipboard
data. This was not practical for my needs of transfering multiple
files intact. I do not know of anything native to the Mac.

Good luck.
