As a side note, current versions of Excel still opens and even can save Excel 5.0 files by default but no longer ships with VBACV10.DLL that converts the VBA code. It was easy to find bugs in this code when I was fuzzing using HxD years ago.

By "this code" you mean the VBACV10.DLL binary? You were using a hex editor to fuzz .XLS files?

Yes.
