************************************************************************ MICROSOFT EXCEL 2.1d SPECIAL INFORMATION FILE ************************************************************************ This file contains information on the following: *Information about this update. *Disks in the Microsoft Excel package. *Information about compressed files *List of Microsoft Excel files. To read this file: *Use the PgUp/PgDn keys to see the next/previous page. *Press the Esc key to finish viewing the file. ************************************************************************ INFORMATION ABOUT THIS UPDATE Compatibility with full versions of Microsoft Windows ----------------------------------------------------- Microsoft Excel 2.1d is designed to take full advantage of all versions of Microsoft Windows 2.03 and higher. This version of Microsoft Excel is compatible with the Intel 80286 and 80386 architecture which insures complete compatibility with future versions of Windows as well. A full version of Microsoft Windows is required ----------------------------------------------- This set of Microsoft Excel disks does NOT contain a run-time version if Microsoft Windows. You must have a full version of Microsoft Windows/286 or Microsoft Windows/386, version 2.03 or higher. Updating an existing version of Microsoft Excel for Windows ----------------------------------------------------------- SETUP will search all first level directories on the specified hard disk for an existing version of Microsoft Excel for Windows. - If an existing copy of Microsoft Excel is found, SETUP will propose to update it by copying the Microsoft Excel 2.1d files into that directory. For simplicity, it's recommended you accept the proposed directory which contains the previous version of Microsoft Excel. - If an existing copy of Microsoft Excel is not found, SETUP will warn you that an existing copy is not found and propose a directory called EXCEL. For simplicity, it's recommended that you follow the instructions provided in SETUP to change the drive and/or directory to where an existing version of Microsoft Excel is located. This is done so your previous version of Microsoft Excel can be properly updated. NOTE: These Microsoft Excel 2.1d disks contain all files needed to use Microsoft Excel with a full version of Windows. You need not install or find your previous version of Microsoft Excel to properly install Microsoft Excel 2.1d. Starting Microsoft Excel automatically from the command line ------------------------------------------------------------ If you want to run Microsoft Excel 2.1d automatically when you start Microsoft Windows, type WIN EXCEL at the DOS command prompt. Note: If you have Microsoft Windows/386 version 2.03, 2.10, or 2.11 type WIN386 EXCEL at the DOS command prompt. ******************************************************************** DISKS IN THE MICROSOFT EXCEL PACKAGE Microsoft Excel is available in 3 disk configurations: Configuration Type of disks 1.2M 5.25 inch high density (1.2 Meg) diskettes 720K 3.5 inch double sided (720 kb )diskettes 360K 5.25 inch low density (360K) diskettes ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ 1.2M configuration ³ 720K configuration ³ 360K Configuration ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͳÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍͳÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ Setup Disk ³ Setup Disk ³ Setup Disk Documentation Disk ³ Documentation Disk ³ Documentation 1 Disk ³ Library Disk ³ Documentation 2 Disk ³ ³ Library 1 Disk ³ ³ Library 2 Disk ÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍÍ ******************************************************************** COMPRESSED FILES Most of the Microsoft Excel files are now in a compressed form to save disk space. SETUP will automatically decompress files for you when you run SETUP. However, if for some reason you need to manually decompress a file, we've provided a program called DECOMP.EXE on the SETUP DISK which will decompress files for you. Compressed files are identified with a special file name extension of the form *.CP? where "*" is the file name and "?" is a letter used to indicate the file name extension for the decompressed version of the file. The table below shows you the encoded file name extensions for compressed files and what the corresponding decompressed file name extension should be. Extension Corresponding for a Extension for an Compressed Decompressed file file ---------- ----------- .CPE .EXE .CPT .CBT .CPH .HLP .CP1 .1 .CP2 .2 .CPC .XLC .CPM .XLM .CPS .XLS .CPW .XLW .CPF .FON .CPV .DRV To copy and decompress a file manually: 1. Copy the program DECOMP.EXE from the Microsoft Excel SETUP disk to the Microsoft Excel directory on your hard disk. 2. Use the DECOMP program to copy the compressed file from the Microsoft Excel disk to your hard disk using the decompressed name. DECOMP.EXE will decompress the file and give it the correct file name extension. DECOMP [file_name] [destination] Where "file_name" is the name of the compressed file and "destination" is where you want the decompressed file placed. For example: If you wanted to decompress EXCEL.CPE (The Excel program file) which is on a disk in drive A:, you would type the following at the DOS prompt: DECOMP a:\EXCEL.CPE C:\WINDOWS and press the ENTER key. If you experience trouble manually decompressing files, we strongly recommend that you run the SETUP program from the SETUP disk and have it done automatically for you. ******************************************************************** LIST OF MICROSOFT EXCEL FILES The following table lists all files on the disks in the Microsoft Excel package. Files are grouped by function. File distribution is different for each of the three disk configurations (1.2M, 720K, 360K). Note that the compressed file name extensions are shown below. NOTE: Files marked with an asterisk (*) indicate essential files required to run Microsoft Excel.
