The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft Excel for Windows, version 5.0
SUMMARY
Microsoft Excel version 5.0, for Windows, will not run under version 2.0 of
IBM's OS/2 operating system software.
MORE INFORMATION
Some versions of IBM OS/2 (version 2.0, version 2.1, and OS/2 for Windows)
include support for running applications designed for Microsoft Windows.
However, Microsoft Excel version 5.0 will not run under OS/2 version 2.0,
because that operating system only provides compatibility to Microsoft
Windows version 3.0.
Microsoft Excel requires that your operating environment be Microsoft
Windows (or Windows for Workgroups), version 3.1, or later (this
level of compatibility is provided by OS/2 version 2.1 and OS/2 for
Windows).
Note that Microsoft Excel for Windows is not guaranteed to be 100-percent
compatible with OS/2 version 2.1, since the Windows support included in
that operating system may not be fully compatible with Microsoft Windows
version 3.1.
Note also that Microsoft Excel for Windows may not be 100-percent
compatible with OS/2 for Windows, even though that operating system gets
Windows support from a pre-existing installation of Microsoft Windows
version 3.1.
