[Coco] Help with .CAL files

Guys,

I have some older .CAL files from the early 90s that have some old  
financial data.  They appear to be spreadsheet files.  The data is  
binary in nature and I am trying to find the program I used to create  
them so I can extract the data and save it in a newer format.  I  
don't remember the program I used to create them, but was either on a  
CoCo or an MM/1, but was definitely under OS-9.  I thought these were  
files created with DeskMate 3, but a .CAL file in DeskMate 3 is  
created by its Calendar application.  Trying to load the files into  
Calendar causes an error, so I know that it's not a DeskMate 3 file.

I remember using SC at one point, but SC saves its data in ASCII  
format.  Downloading and running SC on the files doesn't work either.

So, does anyone remember if there was a financial or spreadsheet  
program that ran under the CoCo 3 or MM/1 that read/wrote .CAL files?

Thanks.
