[comp.os.os2.misc] MS-EXCEL Under OS/2

<REDELMAN@auvm.american.edu> (06/17/91)

Does anyone have any experience (pro or con) running Excel for OS/2?
Does it run under full-screen or PM?

Thanks,
Richard

Excel for PM is a PM application.  It works pretty much the same as pre 
version 3 under Windows.  I heard rumours that version 3 for PM is either 
out or coming RSN.  Anyone know what the scoop is there?

Excel 2.2 and 3.0 beta are PM applications (single-threaded).  We run
ours over a Token Ring network off a IBM LAN Server machine.  It is the
most stable product we own (which is surpising because it is a Microsoft
product).  It looks identical to Excel for Macintosh and Windows.  It is
and excellent product and we have had nothing but good experiances with
it.  Microsoft Word is a totally different story but that is a message
for another time.
