- Hello !
-
- Thanks for looking at Calc, the spreadsheet. What you have here is
- a *fully functional* demo copy of Calc. Although it has no features
- disabled, it will cease to function at the end of 1994. This should
- be sufficient time to examine Calc. If you need a copy after this,
- please read the Help file for CopyCalc (Available from the Filer
- menus).
-
- Calc is an established, fully RISC OS compatible spreadsheet. It has
- copying and sorting facilities, along with about 20 functions
- (including trigonometric, exponential, etc), plus various spreadsheet
- area functions.
-
- Using the mouse, formulae can be built up in the point-and-click style
- and formatting can be altered (including instant-effect draggable
- column widths). Alternatively, Calc can be almost completely keyboard
- driven, with function keys, and cursor keys which react according to
- your present activity.
-
- Calc's graphing facilities include four basic types (Bar, Line/Area,
- Stick, and pie chart), to which index labelling is added, as
- specified, from the sheet. Graphs are hot-linked to the sheet, so
- altering a number automatically changes the graph to match. Naturally
- these can be exported as sprites or drawfiles.
-
- Loading and saving files is very quick, typically hard-disk loading
- times are less than half a second for a medium sized sheet, or about 3
- seconds for a sheet with over 5000 entries. Since Calc saves its
- entire status along with the sheet, you can continue working from
- exactly where you left off. (Please remember you can't write to a CD!)
-
- Calc's 54 page manual largely comprises a tutorial taking you
- step-by-step through Calc's features. Calc has no copy protection, so
- installing it on a hard-disc, or taking a backup is as easy as
- dragging an icon.
-
- Full backup service and free upgrades are available.
-
- Above all, Calc is intended to be a clear, easy to use spreadsheet
- with extra functionality which doesn't get in the way.
-
- Calc costs £25 (including post and packaging)
- Please contact us for details on site licences.
