No.  But there is a free upgrade to version 2.1c.  Just call the 
Windows Hot-line (800) 323-3577 and tell them you are an Excel
owner, have upgraded to Win 3.0, and need the Excel Update.
You will need to have either your registration number or your
original diskettes when you make the call.
Shipping and Handling is $5.00.  There are no functional differences.

I am not sure.  I think so.  But I have yet to read any documentation
on the Memory handling of Standard Mode.

On some other notes, if you are working on a Novell Netware 286 network.
You must upgrade to 2.15 revision C in order to use Windows 3.0
This is again free if you currently own 2.15.
There is also a free upgrade of the Network Shell available which allows
the shell to be placed in either Expanded or Extended memory.  This frees
up more conventional memory when using Win 3.0 in either Real or Standard 
Modes.  I am not sure if the new shell is required for the use of Windows,
it may be.  Cost is $30 for the kit when ordered from Novell After Market 
Products Division or is available via NetWire on Compuserve in NOVA Lib17.
