I had used Excel 1.5 and decided to try WingZ. I would never go back to Excel. WingZ is an excellent spread sheet for engineering applications.It has the kind of graphics that engineering requires, i.e., contour and surface plots. These plots are extremely easy to generate and the quality is excellent. I understand that Version 2.0 will allow combination of surface and contour plots. In addition, WingZ has excellent array of advanced math functions which are e a s y to use (matrix operators, stats, etc...). Plus the hyperscript language is wonderful to use. Unlike Excel which is just darn to cryptic (ie assembly language like). I have nothing to do with the company that makes WingZ.
