Hi Yogia

Sorry I didn't get around to replying earlier but this one must have slipped through.

I got it working on Office 97 just by running the install file...at first there was a problem there since the install shield replaced a couple of system files that it shouldn't have (it replaced a Win98 DLL with a Win 2000 or XP one I think)...John sorted this one out and XLC then installed ok.

The next problem was the "about" dialogue wouldn't open and so I couldn't set the defaults I wanted. This may still be the case..but I don't think it is too much of a problem since the defaults are OK in general and anyway we can modify them in the cell that sits behind the equation metafile.
