But there *IS* another choice --- FaceLift!  :)  I've been using FaceLift for
a month now, and no errors.  The only problems I've had have been related to
running Excel 2.0 in real mode (someday my 2.1 update will arrive...).

The other advantage of FaceLift is that it allows you to pregenerate soft
fonts for a LaserJet for faster printing.
