FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
P & L SOFTWARE LTD ANNOUNCES EXCEL EXPORT CAPABILITY IN NEW RELEASE OF MESA
SPREADSHEET FOR MAC OS X.
AMERSHAM, SEPTEMBER 24th 2001 -- P & L Software Ltd today announced the
release of Mesa 3.0.4. This new version of Mesa for Mac OS X has a vital
'Save as Excel' option, as well as offering localised French language
support.
Lee Cox, Sales Manager, commented "Mesa already allowed people to read
Excel files, but now you can save in Excel format as well. We know how
important it is for Mesa users to be able to share their data with
colleagues who don't use Mesa, and now we have two-way compatibility".
Mr Cox also said "This version of Mesa introduces a more complete
localisation. French language support is now implemented - we had planned
to exhibit at Apple Expo Paris and show Mesa running in French there - and
this paves the way for other languages support soon."
A free Evaluation version of Mesa can be downloaded from:
http://homepage.mac.com/mesa3/Mesa3.dmg
and
ftp://ftp.peanuts.org/MacOSX/commercial/spreadsheet/Mesa3.dmg
This restricts your workbooks to a 20 x 20 size, but otherwise allows you
to take advantage of Mesa's power. You can buy a license online and easily
take Mesa to full capability.
Mesa is a traditional spreadsheet which combines a powerful yet easy-to-use
icon-based interface with the features you expect from an Excel compatible
product. The best-selling spreadsheet product on Apple's NeXT/OpenStep
operating systems, and the first Cocoa spreadsheet, Mesa is well placed to
take advantage of customers' need for a simple yet elegant spreadsheet
designed with the Macintosh user in mind.
Mesa includes:
All standard spreadsheet features (eg multiple worksheets in a workbook,
100+ functions, charts)
Easy-to-use Formula Builder
Customisable tool-bar
Report Generation and Printing
On-line Help
Support for import and export of Excel files
Support for import of Mesa 2 files (from the NeXTSTEP and OpenStep
platforms)
We are currently offering Comercial/Personal licenses of Mesa at a discount
price of $99, and Educational licenses at $50. See our other PressRelease
for full details.
