Though I am short on experiance with Excel, I can say that WingZ 
is one super spread sheet program.  Sheet size is 32k by 32k, only 
limited by available memory/storage.  Programming and graphics are 
outstatnding (wait till you see the 3d and technical graphs).  The 
Windows paradigim is expertly carried over into the WingZ programming
system.  Built-in functions are 300+ in number.  It includes data-
base functions as well.  It can import WKS, WK1, SYLK, DIF, BIFF and
ASCII format work sheets and except for BIFF can save back to their 
origional format.  WingZ is not new, it's been around the MAC 
environment for quite a while; infact if you compare what WingZ has 
to what Lotus, Excel and Quattro are adding to their environment 
you will find that WingZ had it all along, WingZ was introduced to 
the PC community only through Windows 3.0.  Informix does not spend 
the advertizing monies that the others do so it is no suprise that 
it is not as well known nor as well reviewed, a real shame given its 
capabilities.  

Just a satisfied user.
