{  private SSTRecord sstrecord;

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException

  { 

  FileInputStream fin = new FileInputStream(args[0]);

  POIFSFileSystem poifs = new POIFSFileSystem(fin);

  InputStream din = poifs.

  case BOFRecord.sid:

  BOFRecord bof = (BOFRecord) record;

  if (bof.getType() == bof.TYPE_WORKSHEET)
