- Excel 3.0 should work if you disable caching (use the control panel called
- Cache Switch, or something like that). There are two upgrade paths that
- will avoid the difficulty: Excel 4.0 (costs money), or Excel 3.0a (free if
- you have 3.0). I think 3.0a is the correct version number, but you can
- just call Microsoft and ask about Quadra compatibility for Excel.
-
- Microsoft Word 4.0 has similar problems, but Word 5.0 is
- Quadra-compatible.
-
- FoxBASE+/MAC is not 32-bit clean and will not run if loaded in high memory
- above 16MB. There was a patch posted to the net to fix this (let me know
- if you need a copy).
