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!
