Bram Hartlief - University of Leiden - The Netherlands CRISBH@HLERUL2 (IBM/MVS) or (sometimes) HARTLIEF@HLERUL5 (VAX) Tel +31 71 276952 / 276921 Is there anyone with experience in using Supercalc-3a on Apple //(c) computers. I heard a lot about the package and about the graphics it has. But I am a little bit woried about how it performs on a small Apple. So before buying one I would like some opinions. Regards/Groeten.

It works just fine. With 128K you have about 40 K of spreadsheet space. When you access help files or graphics you may have to swap disks, unless you use 800K 3.5 inch disks. If you add memory expansion SuperCalc 3a will use up to 512K. The spreadsheet is a little small for my taste (254 x 63) especially when doing database stuff. The graph- ics are very nice, especially with a pen plotter. Dot matrix output for supported printers goes up to the maximum resolution of the printer for very nice output. About the best small spreadsheet around for 128K Apple // machines. Rick Fincher ranger@ecsvax
