   3a is the latest version they came out with for the Apple II.  If you want
   it, I have a patch that will allow it to work with the IIgs printer port.

I have SuperCalc3a Version 1.1.  Older versions don't support memory
beyond 128k or 3.5" drives.  Unfortunately, Version 1.1 hangs on an
Apple //e with a ZIPchip in fast mode.  I wrote an ugly little patch
that cures this problem, if anyone is interested.  I don't think
the Apple version of Supercalc is supported by anyone anymore.

SuperCalc3a is vastly superior to the spreadsheet program that comes
with AppleWorks 1.x, but the gap has probably narrowed considerably
with more recent AppleWorks versions (especially if you use 3rd-party
addons).
