You can write a relatively simple script in various scripting languages
(vbs, for example) that briefly opens excel, opens the file, saves it as
.xls, and closes it... I think DATA _NULL_ has posted similar scripts if not
that exact thing in the past.
I don't think you can directly save an excel binary [true .xls] file through
excel tagsets, though. XML or else use proc export.
