Lets keep thinks legal shall we!
The program is to big to mail by any standards amd would have been only on floppy.

You need ful MS Original Legal software i NEVER recoment Pirate one its not fare and second it always utter trash and bastardised by the time you ket it and you will not do yourself installing doggy software any favour and doom awaits as the program fails. You need the disk and licence .

Since you ask ill answer your question Version 2 was Win 3.0 and came on 4 floppy soon to be 5 floppys but dont need 5th disk really. Was very limited and was Ok in its day did basics.

Then cave Version 4 on Win 3.11 was 9 disks i think, and was fine thats was 1994 but Office 4.2 carried Version 4 so took off and Office 95 with Excel 95 change our life with VBA not Modules and all the goodies we like, Excel 95 was Win 95 the rest is history.

OK how to get OLD legal Software, Well Msoft wont care and dont support it and much of the older software has been dropped, so travel the PC fair on the WEB it will cost very little in UK i would pay full compleate brand new US$15 AU$20 UK10.

Advice go to www.download.com and there are free spread sheets to try and some save in Exel format and will open Excel files but loose formatting but will help for now and its legal too:
