I am trying to decide on a spreadsheet to use with my Amiga. I had considered Superplan, but if its manual is so bad as needing "to be re-written as well" then maybe I should reconsider. Any other suggested? via Whap! Al Benglen 74615,500

Sorry, even if wasn't paid not to recommend other spreadsheets, I don't know of any. Anyone else? –Duke

Al, A few weeks ago, people here were discussing a new spreadsheet – I think from Gold Disk – and were saying very nice things about it. I know of a new one that will be coming out soon, but it is not yet completed, and then there will be the necessary time to get it ready for market, so if you need one right away, you probably could not wait for it. I suspect it will be excellent. Betty

I bought Superplan about a year and a half ago. It has some execllent formatting capabilities, but I had to stop using it because it does not use the Amiga file system well. It was very difficult to access spreadsheets which were stored in different directories. It did not work well with my printer. And there has been an almost glacal response here concerning any support. Kind of a shame, because with some work, it could have been quite nice.

And there > has been an almost glacal response here concerning any support. I agree on all counts. My workaround for the first point was to use Khalid Aldoseri's file requester and its "file injector" feature: bring up the FR, find the *.spp file I needed, and "inject" that into SP's equivalent of the command line. And for printing, I just print to disk, and edit in TurboText. Clumsy, butr it works. What I WANT is "SuperPlan Professional 4" <grin> . . . . . JimDoc
