Information about “FREECALC”

FREECALC is a mature spreadsheet program with numerous features.  While
it lacks some of the features and power of a product like LOTUS 1-2-3,
it also lacks LOTUS's high price.  As a better than average spreadsheet,
it is quite adequate for most applications.  Like LOTUS, FREECALC uses
all available memory (up to 640k) and is command bar driven.  FREECALC
also allows for a color monitor.   The disk manual is very complete and
is 106 pages long.

Features:

~ 250 rows by 25 columns

~ Column width of 0 to 70 characters

~ Text can be entered

~ Left or right justified

~ Display 0 to 6 decimal places

~ Macros

~ Print spreadsheet by disk

~ Export spreadsheet to other programs

~ Load ASCII text files

~ Support for 8087 and 80287 coprocessors

~ Up to 15 significant digits

~ Wordprocessing mode

~ Move, copy, delete and insert columns/rows

FreeCalc is a spreadsheet program with numerous features.  It has been
expanded from Version 1.0 and is a mature product.  While it lacks some of
the features and power of a product like Lotus 1-2-3, it also lacks Lotus'
high price.  It is a nice spreadsheet program that is more than adequate for
most applications.  It uses all of available memory (up to 640K), allows
installation of color if you have a color monitor, and is command bar
driven.

The disk manual is very complete, and is 106 pages long.  It's apparent that
a lot of thought has gone into developing FreeCalc, and it's paid off!  This
one is a winner.
