I'm looking for recommendations for spreadsheets that will run under
a 386 Unix (preferably SysVR4). I've discounted Lotus because I've
heard that it is such a hog. So I'd like to find a spreadsheet that will
run under Unix and which I can convert dos Lotus spreadsheets to. This
latter is not essential, but very desireable. Does anyone have any
preferences?

It does take up 7MB of precious disk space and would probably run faster if I had a co-processor. However, I'm happy because of the price. I just recently purchased AT&T's UNIX SVR3.2.3, 16 user license with developement set, Old C and ANSI C. AT&T gave me free of charge Lotus 1-2-3 multi-user edition for UNIX System V, 10 user license. This retails for $1295.00. All DOS Lotus spreadsheet files are usable as is, after you copy them to the UNIX filesystem using doscp(1). -- John ---- Westminster Colorado | One mile high and loving it in the Rockies.

Lotus 1-2-3 is good, but if you're going to be running X, why not take a look at eXclaim!? eXclaim! has complete Lotus v2.01 compatibility, with extensions that make sense in the Unix/X environment. I like it a lot. It needs about 5 MB of disk space (fonts take up a lot of space) and about 1.5 - 2.0 MB of RAM. -- Rick Farris RF Engineering POB M Del Mar, CA 92014 voice (619) 259-6793 rfarris@rfengr.com ...!ucsd!serene!rfarris serenity bbs 259-7757

Have you looked at the public-domain spreadsheet sc?
It is available from the archives listed at the end of this message.
Note that requests of this sort are probably more appropriate in
comp.sources.wanted than they are in comp.unix.questions.

An excellent UNIX based spreadsheet is Wingz. We have it as an option on out 486 based PROstation that runs SCO ODT and it runs extremely well. The graphical capabilities are great. Steve Cohen Bull HN
