I know this subject was just discussed but now I'm in the market for a spreadsheet and the last discussion left me hanging. After reading several reviews, following notes discussions and playing with a couple of spreadsheets I have narrowed my choices down to the following: Analyze! by MMS SuperPlan by Precision Software The Advantage by Gold Disk If anyone has tried any of these I would like to here your assessment of the following items: * Compatibility with Lotus 123. (reading and writing of files as well as macro's.) * Speed. * Graphing. Ease of creating and quality of output. * Anything else you would like to contribute. * Customer Support. I have eliminate Maxiplan and VIP Professional for the following reasons: MAXIPLAN - (Based on demo version and reviews) - Slow - Redraws screen every time the right mouse button is clicked. - Demo crashed several times. - Users of released versions report crashing on occasion. - Manufacture support is questionable. VIP PROFESSIONAL: (Based on using.) - Doesn't appear to be supported. - Sloooow! - Uses code overlaying. (Frequently accesses disk.) - Does not support intuition interface. - Although it does multitask it doesn't work well in the amiga environment in general. ----------------------------- ------------------------------------ | Kevin J.
