* SigmaSheet from Minerva is claimed to be 200 times faster than
Intersheet, Lotus 123 and Logistix and capable of handling over 7 times
the size of Lotus 123. It should be available off-the-shelf by the time
this magazine gets to you. The full price £69.95, Archive price £64.
We hope to be able to review it next month.

• A screendump for 24-pin printers (LQ800 and LQ1000) available from
Abacus Training. The dump utilises the triple density graphics mode to
produce a picture of 1280 x 1024 dots which comes out at about 7.5“ x
5”. This was written by Mark Sealey and Gerald Fitton, two of our
contributors, and is being made available to Archive subscribers for £5.
(Or £3.50 if you send a formatted disc.)

We’ve been promised a review copy, so we hope to report on this in a
future issue.
