Greeting *,
I downloaded the working model of Excel and Power Point from cica;
unfortunately, I had no luck to run it.
o Excel: I can run thru demo.exe. But after that, setup stop. (I assume
that's because I have win3 installed. When I tried to run
Excel (either from plain DOS or Window), excel responded
"Insufficient Memory".
o Power Point: No demo.exe this time. But I got all the same things as
Excel.
Has anyone out there successfully run these demo programs? Did I do something
wrong? Any help is appreciated. (No setup doc, readme.txt, came with
Power Point) My HW/SW configuration are provided below:
o SW: Win3 running 386 Enhance mode. Win3 showed that I have 85% free resource
and over 4MB ram (virtual).
o HW: 20 MHz 386AT with 2MB.

I uploaded the Excel demo, but didn't add a document on how to use it. There are three files. Each should be unzipped onto a separate disk -- 1.2 or 1.4MB. Then place the first disk into the A: drive and enter A: followed by SETUP. If you don't have Windows 3.0 installed, it will load enough to get Excel running. If you do have Windows 3.0 installed, it will not load the mini-Windows included on the disks. -- Neil Erdwien Kansas State University neil@ksuvm.ksu.edu

I installed the thing and it screwed with my windows layouts and defaults and such. It really pissed me off at the time to find the location, spacing, etc of my icons and windows to be set to something else. Neil Kirby
