Schema 2 is an advanced spreadsheet package written for Clares by CRM
Ltd, the co-authors of Acorn's integrated software package Advance.
Amongst its many features, Schema 2 is upwards compatible with Advance
and has many new and exciting facilities:
* Retains all of the key features of the original Schema
* Multiple sheets up to 30,000 by 30,000 cells
* A large and powerful set of 79 standard functions
* User Macros can be used to add additional functions
* Matrix operations
* Full control of cell sizes, formats, displays etc..
* A flexible macro language closely modelled on BBC BASIC V
* Compatibility with the original Schema
* Compatibility with Lotus 123 WK1 files
* Imports SID files
* Revised storage allocation gives more economical use of memory and a
speed increase of some 300% in computation
* A revised and simpler method of applying effects such as colours,
fonts, point size, number formats etc..
* Improved handling of dates and times
* An improved and extendable system of graphics
* Definition of 'BIG' cells capable of holding text justified over
many lines
* Graphs, sprites and other pictorial information within cells
* Automatic scaling of graphics in cells
* Graphs have live linking to data
* A separate but integrated macro compiler, leading to further
economies of space and speed of loading
* Easy data transfer through a clipboard with all other applications
which conform to the Advance standard
* A configurable interface which allows you to set up menus in
arbitrary arrangements and to link important operations directly
to icons
* Icon ribbon for instant access to most used functions
With the development of Schema 2 we have listened to what YOU want and
require. For example, a major request was for cells to be able to hold
multi line text or graphics. Now you can create Big cells which can
contain these items. More than this the Big cell can store a live
linked graph. This means that the graph uses data from the sheet to
draw the graph and when the data is changed the graph is redrawn
automatically to show the new data. Imagine the benefit of your graph
always being up to date.
Schema 2 is supplied with a comprehensive manual which includes a 100
page Tutorial section that takes you through the basics of spreadsheet
use in a humorous and light hearted manner using exercises based upon
the mythical College of Irrational Sciences. A separate Macro manual
is available free of charge for those who wish to write macros.
