Microsoft has announced that Microsoft Excel 2.2 for the Macintosh will be out
sometime around the end of the second quarter.  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
