- QS version 1.1
-
- By Howard Dutton
- Genie XJM23622 H.DUTTON
-
-
- QS, a spread sheet for CP/M features:
-
- 26col x 99row sheet
- variable col width
- "WordStar" type editing functions / movement,
- algabric formula evaluation (nested cell refs. allowed)
- trigimetric functions,
- column / row summation functions.
-
-
-
- Instructions:
-
- First: in QS press </> for help, this will bring up a screen with
- all of the commands/options.
-
- Positioning to desired cell.
- use:
- <^S>-rgt <^D>-lft <^E>-up <^X>-dn
- <^A>-pg rgt <^F>-pg lft <^R>-pg up <^C>-pg dn
-
- To enter text into a cell press the <`> key and type "what ever" then <RET>.
- use: ^S to move left
- ^D to move right
- ^V to toggle insert/overwrite mode
- ^G to delete right
- <DEL> to delete left
-
- Graphic cell entery functions the same as text but graphic symbols are
- shown in place of text. (that is on H19 terminals but you may be able
- to use this on your system. If you have TP look in the file QSMISC and
- the note on compiling at the end of this file!)
-
- To enter a formula depress the <=> key then type the formula followed
- by the format suffix and <RET>. Output formats include hidden (HIDE),
- floating (FD), dollar (DOL), scientific (SCI), and bar-graph (BAR).
- The FD and DOL formats can have optional floating $ or trailing % / #.
- And all formats (except BAR) can be left/right/center justifyed.
- for example:
-
- <=>
- sin(45)&sci>
- <RET>
- This will cause the cell to show the value of the sine of 45 degrees.
- The format of output is scientific-right-justifyed.
-
- <=>
- 100&dol$<
- <RET>
- This will show the value $100. The format is dollar-$-right-justifyed.
-
- <=>
- 60&dol$^
- <RET>
- This will show the value $100. The format is dollar-$-centered.
-
- <=>
- 10&bar
- <RET>
- This will display ##########.
-
- <=>
- A1
- <RET>
- This will show the value of cell A1.
- The format is defalt (dollar-right-justifyed).
-
- <=>
- SUM[A1>A10]
- <RET>
- This will show the value of cells A1 through A10 added.
- The format is defalt (dollar-right-justifyed).
-
-
- Also various numeric functions are available: In QS type </> for help and
- you will get a list of them.
-
-
- NOTES:
- Since version 1 I have made some changes:
-
- Corrected a 'bug' that caused stray numbers to be printed (they were
- really h19 control chars for cursor on/off and block/underline that
- I forgot to disable. Sorry for the trash!).
- And another bug that kept the DOL$< FD$< formats from from working.
- Help is now on disk to save memory (free space now up 5k from v1.0).
-
- Also:
- If you have Turbo Pascal (I use Version 2) make sure you set the
- end address of the options menu to '97FF'. This saves about 5k of memory
- for the recursion stack.
