Ah the famous "mousetext" on old software problem. I don't believe I've seen a patch for Visicalc, but perchance someone else knows of one. My recommended solution is to order SPREADSHEET 2.0 from A.P.P.L.E.-CooP. It's Visicalc compatible, doesn't display mousetext, and has a number of features (variable column widths, protected cells, etc.) that the original Visicalc didn't have. I haven't a catalog handy, but the price for SPREADSHEET 2.0 is quite modest (around $60?????). --------------------- Disclaimer: My employer often is appalled by my opinions, and my facts may be only vaguely right <slippery when wet>.
