- In fact Excel 3.0 for OS/2 is available, but I'm sure everyone is
- aware of that.
-
- It is a well kept secret that Microsoft's cross-grade policies are
- actually pretty reasonable. An upgrade to Word 1.1b for OS/2 is $50
- from any Windows version of Word. An upgrade to Excel 3.0 for OS/2 is
- the same, I believe.
-
- Of course, I hope the real mode suggestion works. (Excel 2.1 is,
- frankly, awfully buggy -- there were a few 2.11 and 2.11a releases in
- there, I think.)
