Any one know of public domain spreadsheet programs for the IBM-PC? I'm presently using PC-CALC but need more than 50 rows. Thanks, Jim Larsen

You are free to distribute and evaluate it, but are requested to pay for it if you continue using it. Also this is one of the cases where registration brings you a more complete manual, question answering support and a low price for updates. P.S. It has 64 columns. --henry schaffer Standard Disclaimer.

Would you be willing to pay less than $100 for Lotus 1-2-3 (ver 2)?
Actually, PaperBack Software is selling a 1-2-3 look- (and work-)
alike for 99.95. It supports 9999 rows by IV columns (256) and seems
to me to beat any public domain program into the dust. I wouldn't
mind spending a few bucks to avoid the admittedly minor problems in
ftp'ing or otherwise getting the public domain progs (laziness is one
of my better qualitie). Check it out!

I believe there is a new version of PC-CALC available which is faster than the old one and has a larger matrix size. You might want to get intouch with Jim Button to see if this is true. If I find it, I'll put a copy in my public area for consumption. --Pete -------

The "Spreadsheet of Steel" is public domain. I am not recommending it, since I have never used it. It is available, along with a few other programs by Potomac Pacific Engineering, on the PC Software Interest Group's disks numbers 214, 215, 267 and 268. For more info, see their ad on page 4 of just about any issue of PC Magazine in the last 6 months. I have the full PC-SIG catalog at home, so if you need an address or want to cut that list of 4 disks down to 1 or 2 (for the spreadsheet only), let me know and I'll look it up for you. I have no affiliation with Potomac Pacific or PC-SIG. --Ken Van Camp <kvancamp@pica-lca.arpa> Army Armament Research & Development Center SMCAR-FSA-E Building 350-S Dover, NJ 07801-5001 (201)724-3675 (AV)880-3675

Turbo Pascal I believe has a spread sheet - since its in source, you could readily modify it. However, I am not aware of its limitations to number of rows/columns. You might even modify it to contain linked lists or other mechanisms of not having an n x m array for the spreadsheet.
