It finally lifts the 1MB memory limit, and has other new functions, including increased speed and mixed fonts/styles. This release is supposed to use the main "engine" of the upcoming version of MS-DOS and/or OS/2 Excel. That seems kind of strange to me, but if they say so... Maybe someone can answer this: How does Microsoft come up with numbers for their applications? It seems strange to go from 1.5 to 2.2... -Michael -- Michael Niehaus UUCP: !{iuvax,pur-ee}!bsu-cs!mithomas Apple Student Rep ARPA: mithomas@bsu-cs.bsu.edu Ball State University AppleLink: ST0374 (from UUCP: st0374@applelink.apple.com)
