I figured out the problem last night...

In case anyone else runs into it, here is what happened...

Put an STB AutoVGA card in a 286 box... Reinstalled Microsoft Windows
286/V2.1.  Installed the "custom Windows screen drivers" supplied by STB.
Excel refused to run complaining about not having enough memory.

Turns out that the custom STB driver was the culprit.  After reinstalling
Windows with its vanilla VGA driver, Excel worked fine.  Guess a letter to
STB is in order...todd
