Hi Manju,
Please note that the Web page says "*Where* the product is available free
to the MIT community under a site license, the link leads to a web page
from which you can download the software."
This is not the case with Excel. If you are interested in buying the
product, please check out the NECX catalog at http://web.mit.edu/ecat/necx/
Here is a quick snapshot of the academic pricing through NECX:
EXCEL 97 WIN 1-USER 93926 $83.21
EXCEL 98 MAC 1-USER 116448 $95.60
EXCEL V5.0 MAC 1-USER 106418 $73.51
Hope this helps,
Robyn
