I plan to buy a spreadsheet and a personal finance management program for
my Amiga. I haven't seen many reviews on these types of programs, though.
Can anyone make any recommendations? Thanks...

Analyze has better compatibility with Lotus 1-2-3 spread sheets (it will read and write them) MaxiPlan has better Amiga specific stuff like the charts and the cell notes. I also tend to like MaxiPlans user interface better. So I would normally reccomend MaxiPlan except that it has some bugs that are weird, and more importantly it doesn't work well with low memory conditions. V1.9 fixes many of the bugs in 1.8 but still has an occasional gotcha or two. Oxxi has assured me that the "real" 1.9 (there was an early 1.9 that began shipping in the new boxes, this new 1.9 fixes some bugs in that and will be shipping to registered 1.x owners) went to the bulk mailer today (11/3/88). As for personal finance I have no clue. My wife uses Managing your Money on the PC for our household finances, and while MECA hasn't said they *won't* port it to the Amiga, they haven't said they would either. I'm about ready to offer to do the port since having the PC around is not much use. --Chuck McManis uucp: {anywhere}!sun!cmcmanis BIX: cmcmanis ARPAnet: cmcmanis@sun.com These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
