A Full-Featured System for Numerical Analysis and Reporting
Overview:
The AnalytiCalc system from General Cybernetic Engineering includes a
full featured spreadsheet, graphics programs, documents, and facilities
for performing many commonly needed functions. Database data extraction
and word processing integration are built in. A scheduling program is
also furnished for calendar, meeting scheduling, and similar functions.
Features include:
* 18000 by 18000 cell spreadsheet size using virtual memory so that the
ENTIRE sheet can be used. Total storage can be as much as 6 times
greater than possible using popular programs such as 1-2-3 on a
memory-loaded PC. The 256K version gives full capacity. Over
2 megabytes of virtual storage is available and no penalty for
using cells other than in the upper left corner of the address
space exists.
* Full random access to other saved spreadsheet formulas or values from any
cells.
* Easy save or merge of partial sheets with the most flexible cell addressing
in the industry.
* As many windows on screen as you like. Up to 400 can be handled on screen,
and more on printouts. You're not limited to 2, 4, or 8 regions
as you are in some programs.
* Ability to drive any cell from external macros, or to drive the entire
sheet from other external macros.
* Functions provided for extracting data by keys from data files on the system,
or for reading in normal ASCII files and automatically breaking them
up for easy calculation.
* Automatic "audit" display available to allow you to see exactly how the
formulas on your spreadsheet are related. Can be printed out in this
format also.
* Built in matrix algebra, random number generation, date arithmetic and
conversions between all necessary date formats. Can compute weekdays.
* Ability built in to vary up to 8 parameters automatically to solve systems
of equations. Used with cell programs and/or matrix algebra routines,
this gives mathematical power unparalleled in machines of the PC
class. Also linear regression, Fourier transforms available.
* Full selection of scientific, engineering, logical, business, and arithmetic
functions. Up to 109 characters of formula per cell, which may contain
multiple equations. (One AnalytiCalc cell can frequently do the work
of several cells in other programs.)
* Table addressing functions and lookup functions useful for multi dimensional
access around the sheet.
* Conditionals, display sorting, access to formulas (rather than values) for
sorts, dynamic modifications of formulas where desired.
* Recursive macro substitution capability for simple re-use of complex parts of
formulas. In 320K version, this may be done by name; in 256K version,
by address.
* Fast add/subtract multiple whole sheets (for summaries or to highlight
changes.)
* 60 scratch accumulators global to the sheet.
* Graph outputs and Word Processing documents may be overlayed onto sheet,
included within it, or even nested as frames under control of the
AnalytiCalc program. One and two dimensional plots and piechart
programs are provided.
* Mechanism for executing any DOS commands from within AnalytiCalc without
losing context. May be driven by macros (command files) anywhere
they are legal.
* Can be run from auxiliary terminal if desired; ANSI cursor controls on the
auxiliary terminal are all that is required.
* Uses 8087 for faster calculations if available. Understands full PCDOS 2.0
path filename syntax.
* Large help system permitting online discovery of most command formats. Full
manual available online with search utility to facilitate locating
critical information quickly. F1 used as help key (as is common in many
DOS programs). User may expand command set using supplied files.
* Deliberately NOT copy-protected to simplify user backup, use from memory
disks or hard disks. (We object to programs that make it hard for you
to use them.)
* Runs on most any MSDOS machine if sufficient usable memory exists.
* Quick graphics command allows you to generate one or two dimensional
plots from a single keystroke.
* 1-2-3 (tm) type command interface or "command-mostly" interface to avoid
typing lots of "/" keys when desired.
* Several computation methods for speed.
* Graphics utilities generate histograms, scatterplots, piecharts, line
graphs, linear regressions, and more. Output for histograms and
scatterplots may go to ANY MSDOS device or file.
The AnalytiCalc system is priced, not at $500.00, but at $49.95
because we believe that good software should be inexpensive so that
it will be widely available and used. We prefer to make a small profit
on each sale rather than try to impoverish a smaller number of users
by charging a larger price. We believe the $500 packages are over
priced; try this one and see if you don't agree.
A slowed-down and less capable version of AnalytiCalc may be
obtained through PC-SIG. The full, current, faster version is available
direct from General Cybernetic Engineering. Send check, money order,
or (if a well-known company) P.O. for $49.95 plus $5.00 postage/handling

AnalytiCalc will be shipped to you in return. Try it! It's not only
the most powerful spread-base in the industry; it's one of the most
inexpensive. 256K memory and PCDOS (or MSDOS) 2.0 or later are required
(somewhat more memory for MSDOS 3.x or some non-PCDOS machines or machines
with weird memory restrictions like PCjr.)
