Note especially the xls Excel files.  You may want to try downloading first from
Internet Explorer rather than Netscape.  Double click on an xls file.
  Many users will not
have their browsers configured properly for this type of download.  They should consult
the readme htm or txt files in the Index listing of  files.  The process seems to work when I
downloaded the xls files on our Trinity University lab computers.  The process failed with
a computer not having the latest version of Internet Explorer. 

The above link gives you a listing of files to download.  If the Excel xls files
are visible in your browser, they may navigate but will not be fully operational
unless you save them in your computer and then read them in a spreadsheet
program such as Excel or Lotus 123.

The Mexcobre Case solutions are in the 133spans.xls file.  The Excel function tutorial is in the funclong.xls file.  There are many other tutorial files dealing either with SFAS 133 or with my Working Paper 262 cases on computer security.
