What about OPUS? Version 2.2 (or is it 2.1 ?) is availabale at 
atari.archive.umich.edu in diretory atari/appications. It is very much usable 
(full GEM WIMP support) with excellent charting facility. If you register with 
the author (D.Harrison) he will send you V2.3 which supports full Lotus 123 
file compability & it is by comparison extremely cheap.
