It's not the best spreadsheet in the world for a UN*X system -- I don't have the faintest idea how it decides the maximum size for a spreadsheet. I have a spreadsheet that fits on 1 8 1/2x11 page, and Multiplan tells me I have 83% of my storage left (I have 2 MB RAM). But it *is* Multiplan -- if you learned Multiplan on a CP/M system, you won't have any trouble. -- Rich Kuhns {ihnp4, decvax, etc...}!pur-ee!pur-phy!mrstve!rjk

We've offered Multiplan on the Tower for a number of years and FINALLY there is a version which allows for much larger spread sheets, and has a few nice features like a shell escape... -Mike Wescott NCR Corp. ncrcae!wescott
