I installed swFPU on a Powerbook 140. When I go to the About Box of MS Excel
the program thinks no FPU exists. Does MS use gestalt? Does the use of swFPU
change the results obtained from using gestalt? Is this info in Excel's 
About Box expected and erroneous?

Thx,
dk

ps: Went to MacWorld and discovered WordPerfect 2.1 is alive and well.
    It certainly helps their installed base when they sell their packages
    at the show special price of $49!!!

    Thank you all for your various responses regarding WP 2.1 for Mac.

  The SF Board of Education just can't bring itself to use a horrid word 
  like "intercourse". ...[from their] instructions to students, 
    "the effectiveness of condoms is enhanced by use of a new 
     condom with each episode of 'penile insertive behavior'."

  A Chron reader, writes in, 
    "You can tell a man wrote that. I much prefer 'penile receptive
     behavior' - it sounds much more user-friendly."
