There is one spreadsheet out at the moment and a few are on the way.
Wingz is available now and Ashton Tate should bring one out within a
month.  Others, including one from Lotus, should come out by the end of the
summer.

Gee, that's news to me.  I called Informix last week and was told
"There is no established price for the NeXT version of Wingz.  There
is no fixed or estimated ship date for the product."  It sounded a
hell of a lot like vaporware to me!

As far as I know WingZ is not yet out. However what I have seen of the product
is also more than vapor ware. The product seems to be in a quite advanced state
od development (late alpha or beta).

Does anyone know what the other spreadsheet announced in the fall 1989 3rd
party product catalog is like (I think the name was something like Tactician)?
It should be shipping if the info there is cortrect...
