- As-Easy-As 5.5c
- Trius, Inc. ASP
- $75
- #7057/587 [2 disks]
- is a spreadsheet program that is as easy as... 1-2-3, right? Besides the clever
- name, this program looks and works amazingly like Mr. Big. The worksheet size is
- 8,192 rows by 256 columns. There is on-line help, but the user is assumed to be
- familiar with Lotus 1-2-3. This is primarily intended for people who use 1-2-3
- at the office and want a compatible program for use at home. The graphics
- plotting also supports the EGA and Hercules mono adapters.
-
- Other features include spreadsheet linking; many graph types; the ability to
- export graphics in PIC format for importing to word processing and DTP
- programs; a structure that will allow development of Add-In's (some of which
- are included on this disk); the ability to import and export dBase compatible
- files; many Time, Financial and Statistical functions; string handling
- functions, including lower/upper case conversion, concatenation, trimming,
- string comparisons, look-up string tables and more; user-definable functions;
- expansion of the macro buffer to 2k; HP LaserJet and 24-pin printer graphics
- support; cell auditing, which lets you point to a cell and have all other
- cells which are linked to it be highlighted; the ability to save default
- settings; file merging options; graph data labels; the ability to display
- negative amounts in a different color; mouse support; and much more.

- Pivot!
- Trius, Inc.
- $20
- #7057/1851
- allows you to print As-Easy-As (PsL disk SS-0587) worksheets in either
- portrait or landscape orientation and in the font of your choice on Epson
- compatible printers. Two internal fonts are currently available. A companion
- program makes it easy to create your own printer fonts.
-
- This is an excellent package. Unlike other sideways printing programs in the
- PSL, Pivot does not require you to save your file in ASCII; it will print the
- WKS file. However, it does not work from within your spreadsheet program; it
- is a stand-alone program. Since As-Easy-As is largely compatible with Lotus
- 1-2-3, it will also print some WKS files from 1-2-3 and other compatible
- programs. The font design program makes it a snap to design your own fonts.

- cell range, to hide a column from view, to import multiple columns off the
- screen at the same time, and to import and export data.
-
- Other features include querying of dBase files, worksheet database querying,
- goal seeking, business graphics, a powerful macro language, macro recorder,
- macro editor/debugger, point and shoot file manager, the ability to sort on

- FreeCalc
- Stilwell Software Products
- $48
- #7246/256

- user. For example, you can create a useful spreadsheet without any knowledge
- of how to write a formula in FreeCalc. This is made possible by FreeCalc
- providing you with certain basic formulas and allowing you to point to the
- numbers that you want to be included in the formula. FreeCalc also includes a
- limited word processor.

- the goal. (Note: Brown Bag does not allow the latest versions of their
- programs to be distributed as shareware. The registration fee shown is for the
- latest version.)

-
- Job Oriented SpreadSheet (JOSS)
- Toolkit Software Pty Ltd
- $89
- #7588/3855 [3 disks]
- is a unique spreadsheet-like approach to data management, analysis and
- reporting. A "Job Procedure" can be as complex as a combination of linked
- spreadsheets, databases and reports, or a simple one-screen spreadsheet.
-
- Job Procedures can represent many different business tasks, such as estimating
- and quoting, financial modeling, accounting and business planning. JOSS allows
- you to create complex items from components held within your databases, such as
- for a Bill of Materials Job.
-
- Changes, such as price changes in a bidding Job, can be applied across any
- number of Jobs in seconds. Job detail can be merged with tailored
- word-processing reports to produce output that matches your needs.
-
- You can import data from LOTUS 123 2.0 sheets, dBIII files and comma and
- delimited ASCII text files. You can also create dBIII compatible databases. The
- information stored in these databases can be accessed interactively by the
- spreadsheet system forming a powerful data processing combination.
-
- The system comes complete with a large Macro command library to speed up the
- execution of repetitive tasks. There are over 80 functions built in for use in
- formulas. Requires DOS 3.+, at least 512K RAM and 2.17meg of hard disk space.

- PC-Calc+
- ButtonWare, Inc. ASP
- $70
- #7247/257 [3 disks]

- TurboCalc
- P & M Software Co.
- $40
- #7247/259
- is a spreadsheet program with a maximum size of 8,192 rows and 256 columns. A
- text editor is integrated into the system. TC supports many math and financial
- functions. Other features include bar graphs, text import, worksheet merge,
- support for the 8087 math coprocessor, fixed column import, auto-start
- capability, and the ability to save a graph to a disk file for later editing
- or printing.
-
- Warning: TurboCalc creates a hidden file in the root directory of your hard
- disk that defies all normal attempts to remove it. In addition, it adds .03
- seconds to the startup delay screen each time it is run until you register.
-
-
- Power Sheets
- Baker, Al
- $20
- #1354
- is a powerful 3D, programmable spreadsheet program that was a previous PC
- Magazine Editor's Choice. It's numerous features include a large 3-dimensional
- structure (255 rows by 255 columns by 255 pages) with the ability to rotate
- the cube to view slices of data in different ways; true programmability with a
- real programming language that can exist either as ASCII files or in cells;
- true date and time math; and many built-in functions.
-
- PS is the only spreadsheet where the bounds of a range can be computed based
- on the values of other cells (eg: sum the range beginning at month `x' and
- ending at month `y' where `x' and `y' are computed). Where other spreadsheets
- operate on ranges, PS operates on lists. A list is any combination of ranges,
- cell references, or formulas. This implies that all functions are fully
- recursive and can be nested to any depth. PS also reads and writes ASCII
- files, non-delimited, or delimited with any choice of delimiters.
-
- PS is a serious business tool. Other spreadsheet programs in the library are
- easier to learn to use for quick and dirty projects, but if you need real
- power and flexibility and don't demand Lotus compatibility, try Power Sheets.
-
-
- Rebel 3.0
- Smith, Brad L.
- $0
- #4200
- is a spreadsheet program with 128 columns and 1024 rows. Features include
- indirect cell addressing, programmable range operations, variable labels, array
- assignments, and more. Rebel uses functions keys for all menu selections, rather
- than the usual 1-2-3 menu style, and Rebel's approach is quite easy to learn and
- adjust to.
-
-
- SLIC Works
- #486
- stands for Spreadsheet, Letterwriter, Info-filer and Communications. The first
- two functions are very nice. The info filer looks good for address lists, but
- nothing heavy, and the communications is the weak link, not even supporting
- 2400 baud.
