Excel 4.0 in Executor problems




I'm running Excel 4.0 in Executor 1.3 on black hardware, and have run into a
couple of problems on (extremely) large spreadsheets.

The first problem is that with > 1 mb spreadsheets, Excel starts running out
of memory, leading to crashes.  The About Microsoft Excel claims that 1754KB
total are free.  Is it safe to assume that changing the memory Excel
allocates to itself (normally done using Get Info in System 7 on a Mac) will
solve that problem?  Or is it more inherent to Executor 1.3?  If changing the
memory allocation of Excel would solve it, is there any way to change its
memory allocation without going through the chore of installing it on a Mac,
changing it there, and reinstalling on the NeXT?

Secondly, charts in Excel 4.0 in Executor seem extremely flaky, and totally
mess up the display of any on-screen spreadsheets (especially their title
bars).  Is there any way around this?

Thanks much,
