<question>
What is the HSSF "eventmodel"?
</question>
<answer>
<p>
The HSSF eventmodel package is a new API for reading XLS files more efficiently. It does
require more knowledge on the part of the user, but reduces memory consumption by more than
tenfold. It is based on the AWT event model in combination with SAX. If you need read-only
access to a given XLS file, this is the best way to do it.

</question>
<answer>
<p>
Star Office 5.1 writes some records using the older BIFF standard. This causes some problems
with POI which supports only BIFF8.
