Subject: Spreadsheet for Apple II+ What have you found useful as a general ledger that will work on Apple II+ copies (it's just as good as .....)? I have an old Visicalc which is ok but I would like to make use of my 80-column card and have more flexibility in formatting the thing for printing. For example, being able to set individual column widths, displaying both upper and lower case. I have discovered Multiplan can handle the column width requirement, but not sure about the 80-column. Has anyone had experience with this program, does it recognize the presence of the card and use it? My uncertainty stems from not finding a salesman familiar with an Apple II+ and the program in question and the manual does not tell me (from my glancing through it for ~1 hour.) Does Visicalc have a new and improved version which does what I desire? Or are there any public domain programs out there that I could get?

Using an 80 column card with Visicalc is no problem if you have
the preboot for it. An Apple ][+ computer can use the pre-boot
if the 80 col card is a Videoterm since Videx has had out a preboot
which allows for this. For other 80 column cards I suggest you
call the company and see what they have to say.
