None of the macs have excel on them. Excel is on the server,
accessible through the "Applications" item under the Apple menu. The
"excel startup folder" is something created during the Excel
installation, and has nothing to do with the location of the actual
Excel binary. It is supposed to be empty. However... how were you
even able to find that out? The system folder should have been
password locked.

The README file says to contact hotline for hardware and system-software-
related problems, microhelp for application problems. This is the same
thing as we told people last year. Ultimately most of it gets routed to
me anyways. :-)
