reassign  363486 general
thanks

Hi,

        This is a cure proposal, though not one I would expect to see
 realized. Anyway, someone has to decide which program can call itself
 "Excel", see if it can do it legally and not violate trademark law,
 and then implement this for the selected package.

        This is not policy wqork; this bug was mis-assigned.
