Unlike other sideways printing programs in the PSL, Pivot does not require you to save your file in ASCII; it will print the WKS file. Since As-Easy-As is largely compatible with Lotus 1-2-3, it will also print some WKS files from 1-2-3 and other compatible programs. The font design program makes it a snap to design your own fonts. |
| PSHEET.ZIP | Yes | 171795 | 12/28/1993 | Power Sheets (Baker, Al; $20) is a powerful 3D, programmable spreadsheet program that was a previous PC Magazine Editor's Choice. It's numerous features include a large 3-dimensional structure (255 rows by 255 columns by 255 pages) with the ability to rotate the cube to view slices of data in different ways; true programmability with a real programming language that can exist either as ASCII files or in cells; true date and time math; and many built-in functions. PS is the only spreadsheet where the bounds of a range can be computed based on the values of other cells (eg: sum the range beginning at month `x' and ending at month `y' where `x' and `y' are computed). Where other spreadsheets operate on ranges, PS operates on lists. A list is any combination of ranges, cell references, or formulas. This implies that all functions are fully recursive and can be nested to any depth. PS also reads and writes ASCII files, non-delimited, or delimited with any choice of delimiters. PS is a serious business tool. Other spreadsheet programs in the library are easier to learn to use for quick and dirty projects, but if you need real power and flexibility and don't demand Lotus compatibility, try Power Sheets. |
| REBEL.EXE | No | 194305 | 3/19/1993 | Rebel 3.0 (Smith, Brad L.; $0) is a spreadsheet program with 128 columns and 1024 rows.

| SUREFIRE.ZIP | Yes | 633597 | 12/16/1993 | Surefire 2.0 (Piaf, Inc. ASP; $33-$75) is an integrated forms manager, database manager, and spreadsheet program and more. Most forms management programs, as well as some general database programs, let you type anywhere you want on the screen, insert data-entry boxes, and even do simple calculations. Surefire lifts this basic concept to new heights. For example, while you could conceivably create a spreadsheet type form with either a database program or a forms manager by arranging input fields into a grid structure, Surefire makes it easy to do and in addition, includes over 70 spreadsheet type functions for use in cell formulas. Surefire also goes far beyond any other forms manager or database manager we have seen in the ability to design screens. You can easily create applications as diverse as organization charts, lease management, cash flow and budget analysis, a contact database, and travel reports. That is, it would be easy to create these things if they weren't already included in this package. Surefire lets you link documents and databases together; merge data into documents automatically; create mailing labels; define buttons to do specific actions (eg: print a label) or calculations; design your own context-sensitive help screens and run other applications. Other features include a pop-up calculator, import/export capabilities, automatic page numbering, and powerful search capabilities, a demo/tutorial and more. Requires DOS 3.0 and 512K. |
| THINKER.ZIP | Yes | 135149 | 12/19/1993 | The Thinker (Elliott, Alan C.; $25) is a spreadsheet program similar in command structure to 1-2-3, but limited to 26 columns and 125 rows. It allows you to enter numbers and text on the screen, and define mathematical relationships between the numbers. Once these relationships are defined, you may change some numbers, and the program will automatically recalculate the related numbers. It can be used for financial modeling, budget calculations, scientific calculations, and more. |
| TURBOCAL.ZIP | Yes | 130103 | 12/19/1993 | TurboCalc (P & M Software Co.; $40) is a spreadsheet program with a maximum size of 8,192 rows and 256 columns.

Warning: TurboCalc creates a hidden file in the root directory of your hard disk that defies all normal attempts to remove it. In addition, it adds .03 seconds to the startup delay screen each time it is run until you register. |
