Hi Wyatt,
> specifically Excel 97, to run as an application on LTSP. This unfortunately is a prerequisite and there is no other option but to keep
If you have to keep your Excel 97, then you might give Crossover a chance. I have tried Office 2000 on LTSP here, and it runs fine. 97 should run even better. Crossover produces a lot of overhead system load but a real server should cope with it.
I found only two small "bugs": In Word, when I opened the pulldown font list, there is no handle to scroll it with the mouse. In Excel, on some machines, when you entered a formula into a cell and pressed the Return key, the picture didn't fresh up, so the formula remained until you forced Excel to refresh the display.
However, I found this with 2000, not 97.
Crossover can let you have a testing license, but beware to install it as a server version, not a single-user one (I did so, and had a lot of trouble to get rid of it afterwards...).
