Well, its time. I need a spreadsheet. I currently have MaxiPlan 1.8,
which I got several years ago with my machine under the old "software
bundle" plan.

It works, mostly. It only crashes:
	* when I try to use any of the graphing features under WB 1.3;
	* occasionally under WB 1.2;
	* whenever I try to load any Lotus spreadsheet template.

I have tried to talk to OXXI and several others companies about
upgrades, but no one had any definite answers other than to "wait for
PlanIt!" which is apparently a re-write of MaxiPlan by the original
authors. Also, there seemed to be some legal conflicts hovering in the
background about the rights to these two products; no one would
comment "on the record."

Does anyone have any suggestions for a replacement spreadsheet? The
features I really want include:
	* the ability to do *some* graphs, especially high/low/close
	and pie charts
	* be able to import Lotus .wks and .wk2 (?) files

Please reply via email, and I will summarize.

Thanks,
