[net.micro.mac] Need wish list from Univ. Scientists

benn@sphinx.UChicago.UUCP (T Cox) (02/17/86)

[]
   I am putting together a list of features for Macintosh
   [or any other machine] scientific software.  If I were
   to offer you an integrated spreadsheet/database/graphics
   /report-writer/word-processor, what features would you like
   to see?  Include what you like about the package you are
   already using.

   Some things already on the list:

	o Semilog graphs
	o Set and change dimensions on graph axes
	o superimpose graphs
	o proportional enlargement of graph axes as well as
		independent enlargement of either
	o arbitrary size and position of labels on graphs
	o data entry like a *good* spreadsheet
	o insert vertical lines at any point in graph

   If you have a favorite package for ANY machine, let me know that,
   too.  All followups and the eventual summary of my findings will be
   in NET.SCI .

   Thanks in advance,
--

           This sentence claims to contradict itself, but it's lying.
