Anyone have any experience with either 20/20 or Graphic Outlook?  It's
getting down to decision time.

At a previous job, I was Systems Programmer for a site that had both
20/20 and All-in-1.

I linked 20/20 into the All-in-1 environment.  My users found 20/20 to
be an excellent product. We set up a TI 7221 plotter for graphic output
which worked very well.

The one complaint was that it should be more like Lotus 123 in it's
command set.  I have heard that in later version 20/20 has done this.  I
don't know.

We did have CALC-11, but it was so poor that we decided to drop it and find 
something better.   We now use 20/20; people here are generally very happy with
it.   Although powerful, the help facilities make it easy to learn.

Until recently we could not use the built-in plot facilities, but we now have
an LN03+, on which 20/20 can produce very smart charts.   (Not on the straight
LN03 though.   I assume that 20/20 uses the Tektronix mode of the LN03+, 
which the LN03 does not have).
