  23. Nope, at least, not that it'll affect Excel. I have this problem even before
  24. I installed Spacesaver 1.01 (which is a great program, IMHO, better since
  25. it was part of SD 3.0!). Besides, I didn't enable diskwide compression, nor
  26. compress Excel or any of the associated files.
  27.  
  28. I even tried disabling SpaceSaver and running Excel under VM, with the same
  29. paging problem. It's beginning to look like Excel is doing something wierd
  30. with memory and causing VM to write each page to disk as Excel does its thing.
  31.  
  32. [The pros and cons of Microsoft programs are another matter. I don't wish to
  33. get into a flame war over this!]
  34.  
  35. So has anyone successfully run Excel 4.0 w/ VM?
  36.  
  37. Hopeful,
  38. T.C. Wan
