[comp.unix.questions] Spreadsheet for Sun w/ X support.

rapatel@khnphwzhn.njin.net ( Rakesh Patel) (09/08/90)

I would like information on spreadsheets for Suns that support X. 
There is an article in the latest Unix Today comparing Lotus 123, 
20/20, and WingZ, unfortunately, only 20/20 runs under X. There
was a comment in the article about the lack of ease when dealing
with multiple worksheets which cross reference each other. I would
like to hear from people who have acutally used 20/20 to comment
on it's strengths and weaknesses. I am also interested in hearing
about other spreadsheets that people are using. Anyone have comments
on UltraCalc II from Olympus Software Inc. or Q-Plan/CliqCalc from
Quadratron Systems Inc.? These are listed in the latest Catalyst
catalog from Sun. 

Please send mail to me directly (rapatel@pilot.njin.net). I will 
post the collected information if many people request it.

Thanks,
Rakesh Patel.

  I would be very interested in a summary of your responses. I
was quite excited after reading a review of WingZ the other day,
until I read it was a SunView product. What I don't understand
is why they went to the trouble to write a SunView product with
the OPEN LOOK UI (and it must have been trouble, since Sun doesn't
supply tools to do this, as far as I know). Sheesh!
