I use Excel frequently. It works like the Windows version. I don't feel
much of OS/2 specific extensions (multithreading) but it has some extra
features over the Windows version and Excel is not as big an application
as Word is, so the drawbacks from not using multiple threads are not as
big as with Word.

I think as long as we don't have that much applications for OS/2 it is
better to have this one than no version of Excel. And it seems more
stable than the Windows version. I never had any errors.
