I'm trying to load Excel 2.0 on my VP/ix system and am not having to much luck. The first try I got a message which said something like: illegal execution at xxxx:yyyy I gave up thinking that Excel required a '286 or better, but when I decided to give it a try last night to write down the error message so I could call SCO, I got much further! This time it whined about a lack of disk space and refused to install! Needless to say I'm not humored. I've got 7000+ blocks free, but VP/ix only thinks I've got 1m+ free. So I've got two questions: - does anyone have Excel running on VP/ix ? - how do I fool the installation into thinking I have enough disk space ? thanks Tan Bronson (home) tan@microvation.com (or tan@bronson.uucp) Microvation Consultants (work) bronson@multiflow.com Madison, CT 06443

Does MS Windows load under VP/IX? I would have thought that Windows would have caused more problems with the display than Excel. As far as the disk space problem goes, I would assume that if all the *.ini files are directed to a filesystem that has plenty of room, there shouldn't be a problem. Typically the default *.ini files need to be modified. -- Bob Leffler - Electronic Data Systems (313)456-5375 bob@rel.eds.com or {uunet!edsews, rutgers, sharkey}!rel!bob Opinions expressed may not be those of my employer.
