These are sales/order tracking/forecasting reports. The reports are HTML
tables and are easier to handle on the file system. They are kept for
snapshot/historic purposes. (Mostly to have the "evidence" when the sales
person changes his story to his manager.)

The reports that really matters are dynamically generated.

So is my waste basket!

Peripheral to this is my dislike of companies that insist on sending me
price lists in Excel format because to them Excel spreadsheets are a
database :-(
