Hello,

Do I have to buy the whole Office 97 suite in order to have Excel '97?
How much does Office 97 cost these days? Is it free :) ?

ROTFLMAO

Try one of the adverts NG's or ebay

Better still, ask a friend to run the project for you. If you install Excel
97 onto your own PC, you may inadvertently use some of the stuff from the
later version of Excel, so your test will not be valid. Besides, it screws
up the file associations.

By the way, let me make your day. Programming jobs are going to ...
well you guessed it: India!


I suspect that the days of the generalist programmer in the UK/USA are
numbered. The route to go is to specialise - either in particular programs
to a level the Indians have not got to (yet) or more robustly in a
specialist area of work which you know in depth.
