  32. Mr. Plotkin,
  33.  
  34. I recently found the Andrew site and have been looking at the demo, etc.
  35. with my main interest in the Table spreadsheet.  I work on a reusable
  36. software project for the Air Force and am part of the Software
  37. Evaluation Team.  Presently, I am looking for spreadsheet software,
  38. which is either Public Domain or Governmental-off-the-shelf software.
  39.  
  40. Anyway, I was wondering about Table.  Is it a stand-alone package (able
  41. to be used without the rest of the Andrew world)?  Is it a
  42. full-functioning spreadsheet, or basic token spreadsheet, to be used for
  43. simple applications? Finally, can Table produce graphs and/or charts to
  44. represent the spreadsheet data?  Or can it be used in conjunction with a
  45. graphics package to create graphs/charts?
  46.  
  47. Thank you for your time.  I'm sorry for the "naivete" of these
  48. questions, but I wasn't able to find docs on Table in the Table subdir
  49. on emsworth.andrew.cmu.edu and didn't come across too much on Table in
  50. the running demo which I logged into.
  51.  
  52. If Table is not to be recommended, is there any spreadsheet software
  53. that you would suggest which would be Public Domain or governmentally
  54. developed??
  55.  
  56. Thank you!
