I use Lotus 2.01 and am thinking to buy v3.1/G.  My friend has the latest 
version of Excel.  I've used both and prefer Lotus.  Even though I can't run it
under Windows, I consider it to be more powerful.  My friend is also planning
to buy the new version of Lotus because of the same opinion.  Do you need to
run applications under Windows?  Won't it run faster under DOS?
