unprotecting xlsm or xlsx files

I had to unprotect an xlsm spreadsheet (because the author is on vacation).

I found out how here:
http://datapigtechnologies.com/blog/index.php/hack-into-a-protected-excel-2007-sheet/

I converted it into a crude bash script for in case I need to do it again:

#!/bin/bash
workdir=`dirname $1`

filename=`readlink -f "$1"`
unprotected_filname=`echo $filename | sed s/.xlsm$//`-unprotected.xlsm
tmpdir='/tmp/unprotect'
unzip "$filename" -d $tmpdir

sheetfiles=`find $tmpdir/xl/worksheets/ -iname "*.xml"`
echo $sheetfiles

echo "before replacing"
grep -c sheetProtection $sheetfiles
sed -i 's/]*\/>//g' $sheetfiles

echo "after replacing"
grep -c sheetProtection $sheetfiles

cd $tmpdir
zip -r "$unprotected_filname" *
cd -
rm -rf $tmpdir

Set zoomlevels for gwt-openlayers and openstreetmap

I tried to make the zoom level bar show the same number of zoom levels as my offline cache and I'm shocked at how little information is out there about this.

The method below is doing the trick for me now:

/**
     * @param options
     * @param minZoomLevel the minimum for this is 3 for open streetmap
     * @param maxZoomLevel
     */
    private static void setZoomLevelRange(LayerOptions options,
        int minZoomLevel, int maxZoomLevel) {
        options.getJSObject().setProperty("zoomOffset", minZoomLevel);

        int len = maxZoomLevel - minZoomLevel + 1;
        double[] resolutions = new double[len];
        double curRes = 78271.51695 / (Math.pow(2, minZoomLevel - 1));
        for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) {
            resolutions[i] = curRes;
            curRes = curRes / 2;
        }

        options.setResolutions(resolutions);
    }

// usage example:

        OSMOptions osmOptions = new OSMOptions();
      
        setZoomLevelRange(osmOptions, 5, 11);
      
        OSM baseTileLayer = new OSM("Mapnik", 

          // for offline tiles:

          GWT.getHostPageBaseURL()

            + "tiles/${z}/${x}/${y}.png", 

          osmOptions);

The keys are:

1. there is apparently a magic zoom level 1 resolution (I have not found how it is calculated).
2. you can add higher and lower resolutions by multiplying or dividing them by 2.
3. it is critical that you set the zoomOffset in accordance to what you use as your  minimum zoom level.

Your welcome and yeah you may copy the code as you want.
