Sheesh! I called Informix last winter and they said they were working on a Motif version of WingZ and expected it to be shipping Q4 of this year. This is confirmed somewhat by the inclusion of WingZ in NCD's eXport Catalog which lists WingZ for the DECstation 2100/3100 at $599. Other speadsheets listed include eXclaim! by Quality Software Products and a couple bundled with the Office Automation packages Uniplex Business Software (by Uniplex) and Alis (by Applix). I have no first-hand experience with any of these packages. -- Dave Sill (de5@ornl.gov) Martin Marietta Energy Systems Workstation Support
