Could somebody give me info about Ye olde SUPERCALC 3a (from sorcim) I bought one for eh.... (well, it wasn't much) in a sale. (Specially liked the beautifull package (professional looking)) What is the latest version/revision they made ? Are they still in business ? If so, can I get the eventual latest version ? Thanks for the info. Robert Jansen Local Unix and LAN guru (manager ..etc.. etc...) of the Brussels Free University. Belgium Europe private mail to: BITNET: X17914@BBRBFU01

3a is the latest version they cam=e out with for the Apple II. If you want
it, I have a patch that will allow it to work with the IIgs printer port.

If you want it, I have a patch that will allow it to work with the IIgs printer port. I have SuperCalc3a Version 1.1. Older versions don't support memory beyond 128k or 3.5" drives. Unfortunately, Version 1.1 hangs on an Apple //e with a ZIPchip in fast mode. I wrote an ugly little patch that cures this problem, if anyone is interested. I don't think the Apple version of Supercalc is supported by anyone anymore. SuperCalc3a is vastly superior to the spreadsheet program that comes with AppleWorks 1.x, but the gap has probably narrowed considerably with more recent AppleWorks versions (especially if you use 3rd-party addons). mitch trott@dolores.stanford.edu
