Happy new year to all.
I frequently use Excel2000 for graphic presentation, spreadsheet maths,
simple nonlinear model fitting (using the Excel solver) with one or two
parameters, and simulations. I thought Excel2000 corrected those errors
found in the analysis tool pack and other in-built computational
procedures in the older 97 version. However, following articles point
out that the developers have done nothing to corrected those errors. I
would like your comments on this. Thanks. Siddeek

procedures in Microsoft
Excel 2000 --- which basically indicates that all of the faults that
existed in Excel 97 still exist in 2000.
