Information about “ANALYTICALC 1 OF 3 (ALSO 431, 432)”
AnalytiCalc is a complete Spreadsheet/Database/Graphics/Word Processor
program. Written in FORTRAN, it is quite fast and has attractive
features. The author's goal is an inexpensive, highly integrated
package. The complete system comes on three disks. Disk one is the
primary disk for a computer that is limited to 256K memory. Disk two
is the supplemental disk with documentation and extra files. Disk
three is the primary disk for a computer with more than 320K memory.
ALL THREE DISKS ARE NEEDED TO USE THE SYSTEM. This is a complex
package, and the user should be sure to read the documentation before
using it.

KEYPAD.DOC
Initially on running AnalytiCalc for the first time, reply No to the
question about entering a NEW floating point format default. Reply
22 and 22 to rows/columns to be used and reply 1 and 1 to sizes of
formula and value files. This uses in memory storage, which is sufficient
for 800 cells with about 30 characters formula each.
The manual will provide guidance on how to answer these questions
for larger sheets.
The title can be anything, up to 80 characters and normally appears
on printouts. Just pick something descriptive.
Keypad Key Meanings
Keypad keys are used to automate frequently used commands. You can
add more commands by editing AUXKPD.TXT (see the Chapter 13 area describing
ANSI.SYS in the DOS manual).
Key Action
F1 HELP - displays short menu of available HELP pages and
permits selection of one for further display.
Alt-F1 Displays keypad diagram
Ctrl-F1 Displays one liner reminder of how to get help on line 25
F2 Search - allows you to enter text to search for. Will move
current cell to the cell whose formula STARTS
WITH the string you entered. (There is another
search variant available that will let you find
cells CONTAINING the string you enter; see the >
command in the manual.)
F3 Copy Range - allows you to copy a row or column area
(e.g., B5:B20) to another row or column area
(e.g., C5:C20) relocating formulas therein. You
enter the two ranges separated by a space.
Alt-F3 Copy cell to area - allows you to copy a single cell to a
rectangular area which you delimit by entering
the upper left and right coordinates and then
the lower left coordinate in response to prompts.
Assumes that the cell is at the upper left corner of
the area to be copied into.
F4 Save sheet - saves sheet on a file. You enter filename and
how much to save. Saves formulas.
Alt-F4 Save sheet numbers - saves sheet but as numbers (for graphics).
F5 Get sheet. Loads sheet from file.
Alt F5 Get sheet and relocate formulas so that current cursor position
is equivalent to A1 in saved file. Allows merging
sheets.
F6 Set Auto Motion Direction. Allows you to set what direction the
cursor will move in after an Enter of cell contents.
Use prior to getting into Enter mode.
Alt-F6 Copy Row to area. You reply to further questions giving the
upper left and right corners of the area and the
lower left corner. Assumes the row to be copied is the
top row of the area.
Ctrl-F6 Copy Column to area. You reply to further questions giving the
upper left and right corners of the area and the
lower left corner. Assumes the column to be copied is
the leftmost column of the area.
F7 Set Window - allows you to make the cell at the cursor and
all cells right and down from it point at the region
of the spreadsheet whose upper left corner is the
cell you name.
F8 Insert/Delete Rows or Columns - Allows you to add any number
of rows or columns. If the number is negative, rows
or columns are deleted. E.G. 4R would add 4 Rows,
-2C would delete 2 columns, all at the current cursor
position.
F9 Exit ENTER mode.
F10 Recalculate sheet
Alt F10 Recalculate, Force recalculation of constants too.
INSert key gets into Enter mode where the "E " command is not needed. Arrow
keys, HOME, END, PgUp, PgDown, and control left and right arrows do the
standard motions around the sheet. HOME in particular goes to the upper
left corner of the sheet. END sets the cursor to the lower right row
and column used currently. If you have used, let us say, 10 columns in row
1 and 11 rows in column 1, the END key will take you to cell J11, since
that is the lower right edge of the rectangular region used. You should
leave ENTER mode (INSert key) by typing F9.
N O T E
If running in a 256K system, file open operations sometimes are
tight on room and echos may act strangely. Recover by typing Control-Z
followed by 2 or 3 returns. This will free up the system. If your CONFIG.SYS
file in 256K includes too many buffers or files, it can create problems of
this type. On larger systems this is not a problem.
You may add additional function keys by editing AUXKPD.TXT. The
PCDOS 2.0 manual's Chapter 13 gives the formats for the needed escape
sequences.
NOTICE.TXT
AnalytiCalc Introduction and Notice:
This disk is Distribution Disk #1 for AnalytiCalc - 256K.
AnalytiCalc requires at least 256K of RAM memory, at least one
360K diskette drive, and DOS 2.0 or 2.1 or later, on an IBM PC, XT, or
AT or compatible computer. It can support displays of widths from 40
to 132 characters (defaulting to 80). In some versions of MSDOS or
PCDOS, more than 256K is required, and the "320K version" of AnalytiCalc
requires at least that amount of memory to run. An 8087 or 80287 will be
used if present.
YOU NEED ALL 3 DISKS OF THE KIT TO RUN ANALYTICALC. A number of
required files are on disk 3 (PC SIG number 432, G.C.E. distribution 3)
and if you do not have all 3 disks, please stop, get all, then try to
use AnalytiCalc. Repeated pleas by the author to have PC-SIG correct its
printed statement that only 2 disks are needed have been ignored. If you
the user have been inconvenienced, I regret it, but it is their doing,
NOT MINE. Please obtain all disks. Registered users automatically get
all 3 with a number of extras not found here.
To see the documentation you need either a printer 80 columns wide
to print it, or an 80 column screen to view it on.
NOTE: If this disk is from public domain sources, it is a version which
is usually somewhat slower than the version for registered users.
SOME DO-NOT'S
1. DO NOT use AnalytiCalc until you have read the documentation.
2. DO NOT forget to make regular backup copies of your database.
3. DO NOT exit (X) the program without saving your work if you
want it saved. (You will be asked to confirm you really want
to leave, however.)
GETTING STARTED.
If you haven't already printed the documentation, please do so
before trying to operate AnalytiCalc. Then, READ IT! You should
also make sure that you have placed a "write-protect" tab on your
AnalytiCalc distribution diskettes, so that they can't be
accidentally erased or overwritten.
You should now make a copy of your AnalytiCalc disks. These will
also serve as your "run-time" system diskettes.
Now print the document files ACSTART.DOC, README.DOC,
MANUSQ.HLP, PKGINS.DOC, and ANALY.TUT. MANUSQ.HLP will describe how
to unsqueeze the manual file. Unsqueeze it and READ IT before starting.
When you have read the manuals, boot Disk 1 and type
ANALY to fire up the spreadsheet system. Then run through the
tutorial to get a feel for it.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE FILES ON THE ANALYTICALC DISKS
This information is provided so that you'll know the function of
each file in the AnalytiCalc system.
Files marked with * are part of the AnalytiCalc system;
others are extra utilities, included to help you in your use of
a PC. Files with + after them are believed to work only on close
compatibles of the IBM PC, XT, or AT. AnalytiCalc itself runs
on most MSDOS machines.
Distribution Disk 1,3 Files (two disks, one for AnalytiCalc-256K and another
for AnalytiCalc-320K, have these files with some
variations and omissions in each, covered in
the other. 3 disks are needed for a full kit.)

SOME FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
1. Why are you marketing AnalytiCalc in this way? ANSWER: We wanted
to sell AnalytiCalc at $49.95 but advertising is quite expensive
and dealers are reluctant to sell good inexpensive software and
make smaller per-sale profits when they can sell the $500 +
programs and make more per sale. We felt that programs like 1-2-3
are grossly overpriced and wanted to provide a far more powerful
one at a reasonable price as a service to other PC users. So we're
trying the user-supported route in the hope the user community will
appreciate this and support the effort. The package is available
in the full version only direct from G.C.E. either by purchase
or registration.
2. "Will it help if I buy more RAM memory for my PC?" ANSWER:
Extra memory beyond 256K (or 320K if you have that version)
is useful for handling other DOS commands under control of
AnalytiCalc, but is not otherwise used. If you want to speed
the program up, you can use additional memory as a memory disk
and keep AnalytiCalc's page files there (by making the memory
disk your default when you run Analy). You can also speed the
program considerably by adding an 8087 to your system.
3. "In what language was AnalytiCalc written?" ANSWER: It was
written in FORTRAN, then compiled with the Microsoft Fortran 77
Compiler, V3.3. There are also some assembler language subroutines.
4. "Can I obtain the source code for the program?" ANSWER: Yes, if
you are willing to sign a license agreement and pay $2000.
A more limited source kit, containing the object libraries
and enough sources to add commands and functions, is available
(once you sign a license) for $1000.
5. "What is your update policy?" ANSWER: I'll notify all
registered (contributing) users whenever a new version of
AnalytiCalc becomes available. The cost of an update will
usually be $10 (to registered users). If you aren't a
contributing user you won't receive notification of updates
and will miss out on some programs to be offered to registered
users only. Registered users get the latest version of the
program plus some extras not available on the demonstration
system. Also, registered users will generally get replies to
questions or problems; nonregistered users will not. As an
additional incentive, the registered-user version of AnalytiCalc
differs from the version in public domain libraries by being
faster as well as more capable.
6. "What else are you working on?" ANSWER: There is now a
full blown relational DBMS which should soon have an interface
to AnalytiCalc from it.
The current version (with sources, manuals, and an .EXE for
a 400K or so system) is available for $25.00 from G.C.E. with
AnalytiCalc orders, or $30.00 by itself.
Several other utilities are also in the works. The database
interface will be quite comprehensive.
7. "What computers does AnalytiCalc run on?" ANSWER: It's known
to run on the following "MS-DOS" computers:
RUNS ON:
------------------
CHAMELEON
COLUMBIA 1600-4
COMPAQ
CORONA
EAGLE 1630
IBM PC,XT,AT,jr
LEADING EDGE
SPERRY
TANDY 2000
TAVA
Please let us know what other computers the program does or does not
run on. We believe it will run also on DEC Rainbow, AT&T PC, and
most other MSDOS machines. Either ANSI controls via a driver like
ANSI.SYS or firmware, or an IBM compatible BIOS call for writing
directly to screen, are all that is required for screen operation.
Up to an extra 128K of RAM may be required for some 8088
based machines to run AnalytiCalc over the quoted sizes. This
depends on the machine's use of memory. The Tandy 2000 and IBM PCjr
are two that need extra memory due to large demands by their BIOS
and/or display systems. The Sanyo PC also needs more memory.
8. "Why should I pay?" ANSWER: First, because it's the right thing
to do. We aren't cheating you; don't cheat us. But also, those who
register get the latest release of the program and some items that
are not available on demo releases (e.g., project planning software).
The $49.95 fee is not excessive. We charge slightly more (adding
$5.00 shipping/handling) for direct orders, because direct orders
receive ALL files. On registration, some auxiliary files that have
not changed may not be sent. The new executables and extra software
will however be sent to those who pay. New features and fixes are
made continually, and if you do not register, your version will be
less capable. You will also not be notified of upgrades, new items,
or anything else, and we will not attempt to handle problems unless
you register. The public domain libraries generally receive somewhat
slower versions of AnalytiCalc than registered users.

3. The program or documentation are not modified in any way and
are distributed together.
4. The author must be informed of insertion of AnalytiCalc into any
library that sells diskettes (regardless of price) to nonmembers
and must be permitted to update AnalytiCalc in those libraries.
(This permits more current versions to be kept in these libraries
than might otherwise be possible.) Instructions on how to make
these updates must be supplied to the author.
Companies are granted permission by the author to copy the Analyti-
Calc programs and documentation for use on other computers and at
other locations in the company, so long as:
1. The full registration fee of $49.95 has been paid for the original
copy of the program.
2. A usage fee of $45 is paid for each additional "building" where
AnalytiCalc will be used. Within any building for which the
usage fee has been paid, AnalytiCalc may be copied freely for
use on any computer in that building.
THE USER-SUPPORTED CONCEPT.
User-Supported Software
You are encouraged to copy and share this program with others.
If after evaluating this program you find it to be useful,
I trust you to send a $49.95 payment.

User-supported software is an experiment in distributing computer
programs, based on these beliefs:
1. That the value and utility of software is best assessed by the
user on his/her own system.
2. That the creation of personal computer software can and should
be supported by the computing community.
3. That copying of programs should be encouraged, rather than
restricted.
Anyone may legally obtain an evaluation copy of the program from a
friend or computer club. After you've had a chance to use and
evaluate the program in your own environment, you're trusted to
either forward a payment to the author, or to discontinue use of
the program. In any case, you are encouraged to copy the program
for evaluation by others.
Free distribution of software and voluntary payment for its use
eliminates costs for advertising and copy protection schemes.
Users obtain quality software at greatly reduced cost. They can try
it out before buying, and do so at their own pace and in the
comfort of their own home or office. The best programs will
survive, based purely on their quality and usefulness.
Please join the experiment.
If you believe in these ideals, your contribution is solicited to
help make them work.
Many prefer a written invoice so that payment can be initiated
through company accounting systems. The following invoice is
provided for those in this category. You may keep it for your
tax records if desired.
