[net.unix] Spreadsheet package wanted

davef@west44.UUCP (Dave Furber) (10/29/84)

I am looking for a spreadsheet package to run under Unix.
We run V7 on a PDP-11/44, and BSD 4.1 on an Orion (a large address space
machine which is somewhat faster than a VAX 750).  We would much prefer
to run it on the Orion, which means that we really need something for
which we can obtain the source.

Naturally we would prefer a piece of free, public-domain software,
but we would consider paying too!  (As a academic institution we haven't
got much money).

Please mail me if you have such a product, or any information
which might help me find/choose one.

I am interested in all kinds of productivity improving software for
UNIX.  If anyone has a catalog, I would like to see it.  Replies
describing specific packages also appreciated.

Santa Cruz Operations (ph:  (408) 425-7222) sells Microsoft's Multiplan
for Berkeley Unix for $2000.  Price range for Unix runs $495-$2000.
Their salesman says that Microsoft makes sure that ports of Multiplan
have the same functionality as the original.  If you need a list of
other spreadsheet programs or other Unix applications, check out DEC's
"ULTRIX Software Guidebook:  A Reference to UNIX Software."  The
Digital book # is EJ-26153-20.  You should be able to get it from a DEC
salesman.  It has 4 or 5 other spreadsheets listed, scads of word
processors, assemblers, you name it.
