On the topic of Excel 2.1c, my impression is that it's still using Expanded
memory. I loaded a few charts and ran out of memory with 1.5 MB of memory
available! Can someone confirm or deny this. Should I have an EMS driver loaded?
I think DOS 4 comes with a XMS2EMS.SYS driver which should do the trick.
