Introduction
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello, and thank you for taking the time to read this file. I
hope that you find this program useful.
This program is based upon the code of another shareware spread
sheet, that I found to be highly useful but in need of some
touching up. THIS IS NOT A HACK, but a complete rewrite of the
original code, with extensive modification. It was completely
rewritten in Turbo Basic (now Power Basic) which has some new
features not available when the original code was written. As
well the original was distrubuted as an uncompiled basic program,
I thought it would be more useful to people in the rewritten
and compiled format.
