Roger – The current version of Maxiplan – v3.5.? is supported and NOT ancient at all. Intuitive Technologies has taken the program back and are supporting it fully. True, they had some problems the last couple of months with lack of support and lack up answering the phone, but that has changed. They have hired more staff and are fixing the bugs that were reported with the new release of 3.0 (you see they are up to v3.5.5 – last I heard). The first versions of the program was distributed by OXXI and they still have the rights to v.1.9 of the program. That is no longer being support by OXXI here in the States (my understanding is they are still providing support to oversees users). Then version 2.0 was actually renamed Plan-IT and distributed by B.E.S.T, but they are no longer doing that program. Intuitive Tech. has taken the program back from both of the above outfits and they are really shaping it up to be a VERY GOOD, full feature Spreadsheet. Maxiplan 3.5.5 is stable and very complete and can import LOTUS files directly without the need for a conversion prg. You really should give the NEW Maxiplan a try. Analyze ? – Really! I suppose it is ok, doesn't do much and you can not have more than one sheet open at a time and uses no colors (on scre doesn't crash and gets the job done – I guess. It is productive to the point that I guess a spreadsheet on a c64 is productive. But reall ny longer. MSS has it in with The Works Platinum! (and they don't call it "Analyze!" withing that package, its just 'Spreadsheet'). But then again, this is all IMHO!
