I'd like suggestions on a fairly powerful, *INEXPENSIVE* spreadsheet that is
available for Apple // CP/M. I have VisiCalc Version 3.0 for the Apple, but
I find the 40-column limitation and the difficulty of porting disk-printed
files to CP/M for inclusion in WordStar documents to be a serious drawback.
I'd really like something more powerful that works in 80 columns under CP/M.
It's important that any tool recommended be able to do powers and roots, and
the more powerful the conditional-expression facility is, the better. (I'd
really like an IF-THEN-ELSE syntax that can include nested conditionals as
either or both of its target operand expressions.) I don't particularly need
row/column titling.
Thanks in advance,

Re: Cheap and powerful spreadsheet for CP/M
Here is an idea. Turbo/pascal comes with a spreadsheet as a
sample source program. I think it is public domain; check. My
memory is that it doesn't handle zillions of columns but that
it does handle exponents, trig functions and the like. Hackable?
Good luck.
