WingZ runs as perfectly as ever (what ever that means) on the NeXT
even under 2.0. I'm doing this right now, so if Informix can tell me
why they think it does not work under 2.0, I'd be interested...

Any spreadsheet is primarily a financial planning instrument. As such
Improv is really great, and far better than anything else out there.
If you want to use spreadsheets for scientific data, then you probably
have to write your own extensions.
