I was on CompuServe a limited-use demo of Excel (spreadsheet size
limited as I recall). I don't feel like spending $50 to download a
demo program, so I am wondering if this is available somewhere on
the net, or if someone has this and would be willing to send me a copy.
Thanks.

See their ads in recent computer magazines. I called, and they sent me a demo Excel that works fine--it's just limited to 64 rows & 16 columns. I can't seem to find the 800 number I called, but if you call Microsoft at (800)426-9400, I'm sure that you'll eventually get to the right person. The files supplied on the 1.44 MB floppy version fill the entire diskette--only 1024 bytes left over. riordanmr@clvax1.cl.msu.edu

So write, or simply call us at (800)323-3577, Dept. J53, and ask for the free Working Model of Microsoft Excel ..." (I presume the department number was probably to tell them which publication the call was in response to.) -- Michael Shapiro, Encore Computer Corporation (formerly Gould/GSD) 15378 Avenue of Science, San Diego, CA 92128 (619)485-0910 UUCP: shapiro@rb-dc1
