For those who haven't yet, do the following:

1.	Call Microsoft at their Windows number 1-800-323-3577.
2. 	Tell them that the details (that is, that you have upgraded
	to Win 3.0, but still have an earlier version of Excel --
	they will probably ask for some proof or some sort -- unless
	your registration is on file).  
3.	Wait 10 days or more.  :-)

Current update should be Excel 2.1d.  2.1c was the first Win3
compatible version, but there was a display problem with it (if you
changed the colors of your workspace to just about anything besides
black on white, Excel had problems in displaying your worksheet.  2.1d
is supposed to fix this, I hear).

Oh yes, and I don't think that 800 number works outside of the
continental US.
