Excel 5.0 Recovery

[Tom Detweiler]

Hello to all --
I support manufacturing sites with older installed PC's
running DOS, Win95 and Win98. To support one customer I've
been using Excel 5.0 to crunch input for an older DOS NC
machine. My old Excel 5.0 was installed on my Win98SE
machine and it ran just fine until a short while ago when
I started getting multiple vbdll errors, and a diagnostic
revealed Excel had gotten corrupted to the point where it
would not run anymore. I like Excel 5.0, am happy with it
and it does everything I need with the macros I've written
so don't want to upgrade. However my Excel 5.0 diskettes
are also corrupted and I can't reinstall it. What do I do
to get new installation diskettes or CD, or copies of the
2 bad diskettes, for my Excel 5.0? I want to keep using it
because of customer compatibility.

Thanks -- Tom Detweiler, Testology.com
