Hi Ed, I would suspect that ProCalc is Multiplan in new clothing since it's the only direct import besides Lotus 123. It's really not a bad program, though I have a few improments to suggest. The printing's OK, if you don't mind being able to do only regular or sideways 8.5 X 11 printouts with a choice of Amiga bitmap fonts. Of course my PS printer will only print it's internal fonts since there's no way to down load fonts. Dot Matrix printing is for the dogs!!! It's an ugly graphic dump..& 'dump' fits it to a T!!! SuperPlan droves me nuts for the same reason it does you…file saving & loading. I figured out how to print. I print to disk and then configure my HP4m & Prefs to do a landscape legal sized printout in a small courier point size. But it was a big hassle & took a ream of paper to do. I went for ProCalc since it just seemed reasonable that an Amiga style program should have simple, direct & versitile PS printing. I guess I live in a bubble. Gracia
