I need a good, but preferably not complicated, spreadsheet program. I currently use A-calc Prime and I'm finding it's no longer flexible enough to handle bookkeeping entries for my business and tax forms. I'd like a more powerful program, yet I'm trying to stay with something ``mousey'' and easy to use. Would LDW Power fit this description or is there something better for me out there? Also, does anyone produce a program similar to the PC's Turbo Tax for the ST? Or any income tax software for the ST? Even pre-made spreadsheets would be nice. Suggestions anyone? -- Diane Barlow Close close@lunch.wpd.sgi.com I'm at lunch today. :-) Free Canada -- Trade Mulroney

>I understand Opus has a cult following.
If it does, and there are any of you out there, I need help setting it up.
There was a guy in Texas who was going to send me a configured assign.sys
file -(if you're in the process, great, I mailed you but don't know if it
got to you)
I also tried to e-mail the author on Compuserve (twice) but so far have not
heard a thing.
So if anyone feels charitable I'd sure appreciate it. I have G+Plus, so
don't need GDOG, but am in need of (I think) a printer driver for my
epson compatible (Citizen GSX-140 w/color ribbon).
BTW - does anyone know of a printer driver or some kind of configure
program for this printer? Citizen gives you one for an IBM computer- wish
there was an ST version.
thanks for any help

Version 2.2 (or is it 2.1 ?) is availabale at atari.archive.umich.edu in diretory atari/appications. It is very much usable (full GEM WIMP support) with excellent charting facility. If you register with the author (D.Harrison) he will send you V2.3 which supports full Lotus 123 file compability & it is by comparison extremely cheap. >Also, does anyone produce a program similar to the PC's Turbo Tax for the >ST?
