Can anyone provide pros and cons of LDW and ANALYZE? I bought ANALYZE three years ago when it was $134.00... I started using it this week... saw it in the stores for $34.00. The program can save files in 123 format.. and seems to have a fairly good predefined set of built-in formulas. For my home business puproses, the program is plenty powerful.. my only complaint is the SLOW scroll rate .. OUCH! ... Is this typical of spreadsheets?... is LDW POWER acceptable? I use RANGE NAMEs in ANALYZE to get me to cells rather immediately.. however, it would be nice to be able to scroll 15 cells away and not have enough time to grind coffee or drink another bottle of wine.

I had Analyze for a while and liked some of it but dropped it for the very same reason I dropped VIP, to slow. LDW is by far the fastest commercial spreadsheed I have seen for the ST. It loads 123 files and has a program on disk to convert its saved files to 123 format. I wouldn't call myself a power user, I don't use Macros at all, but I have used LDW on an almost daily basis for over a year, with never a problem. The only spreadsheet I like better is Excell, which I run as a Mac.
