It's possible that an older version of Excel will run under WinOS2.

I've got an unused copy of Excel 5 around here somewhere on floppy
that I've been itching to try. If the author saves the spreadsheet
in a previous version format, e.g v5, you may loose some of the newer
formatting features but the spreadsheet should come through intact.

But the reality of it is that my wife has a windows machine that
I'd use for this, 'cause its faster than the untried alternatives.
Anybody interested in trying it AND reporting back to this list?

I'll email the floppy (contents via LOADDSKF or snail-mail the plastic)
when I find it. Ask off list, PLEASE! I'm travelling now but should
be home again in a day or so (email via cell-phone is so slooooow).
