- This is not a new version. The latest version of excel for windows is
- 4.0. The latest version for OS/2 is 3.0. My point in posting this
- was to let people know that they can get a real OS/2 version of excel
- for very little money if they recently bought a windows version. Besides,
- the differences between 3.0 and 4.0 are not very exciting compared to
- having a version that runs as a proper PM app.
-
- Sorry for the confusion.
