For PowerPoint I setup the following alias:
wabi -s /apps/windows/ppoint/powerpnt.exe &
I imagine excel would work the same.

Hi Tricia,
I use excel every day. I have programmed my binder to launch excel whenever I click on any .xls file. The command I use is
wabi -s r:\\graph4\\winapps\\msoffice\\excel.exe $FILE
The actual location of the excel executable on my system is in
/graph4/winapps/msoffice/excel.exe
The r: drive points to the root directory and the WINDOWS/DOS world uses \ instead of /, but you must use \\ since the first slash is a special character.
Also, you might want to look at upgrading to wabi 2.1.
Chris

I think you would have to alias wabi to 'excel' and put the excel icon
in the Windows Startup folder so it will start up when wabi starts
up.... Try that idea.

I didn't try it, but I think it should work like Windows:
call: 'wabi <Drive>:<Path to Excel>'

Hi Tricia,
Look at the file information in file manager for an excel doc. For a word dos:-
wabi -s C:\\WINWORD\\WINWORD.EXE $FILE
Cheers
Richard.

Hi Tricia,
The trick is to start wabi with a -s and the path to the program you want to run.
If your ms-apps are installed locally, it will be command like:
wabi -s C:/excel/excel.exe. (depending on where excel is installed.)
Where C: is your wabi directory i.e. /user/tkha/wabi
We are running Windows/Office using a central location for common files. This
saved a lot of space for our office installs. The command for us is:
wabi -s R:/user/sw-opt/msoffice/netsetup/excel.exe
Hope this helps.
-Mark

Tricia,
Any wabi application can be started up by using the -s option on wabi then
follow it with the "DOS " path to the executable.
I use
wabi -s g:\msoffice\winword\winword.exe
or if you are using the CDE and create an action for it you will need to use
wabi -s "g:\\msoffice\\winword\\winword.exe" %Arg_1%
as the exec string.
Hope this helps.

Hi ,
I use this:
/opt/SUNWwabi/bin/wabi -s msoffice.exe
Of course this assumes that the PATH ( in autoexec.bat ) is set
up correctly.
