Wayne, I, too, was very disappointed with the review of ProCalc that appeared in Amazing Computing. In addition to the problems you mention, the charting function is misleadingly described in the advertising. Structured graphic output is not the same as the screen representation of the chart. Instead of the nice cross-hatchings, etc., found in the screen representation of the graphs, structured output uses various solid shades of color. If one prints a pie chart with more than about five sections to a b&w or grayscale printer, at least two of the sections will use the same shade. When I asked Gold Disk technical support about this, they suggested that if I wanted the structured graphic output to look like the screen representation, I could export the graph to ProDraw and edit it! How convenient….Bah…That is only one of several other problems that I've ragged on GD about several months ago and which haven't been addressed yet. I wish I could get my money back.
