This is not altogether altruistic, but I'd like to think it's
a good deal:
I've authored a cheap but quite potent spreadsheet for the PC.
It is available from Holt, Rinehart & Winston or Dryden Press, I
believe for around $30. You may also find it in college bookstores.
It is keystroke/macro/file compatible with Lotus(TM) 2.01 and has been
out for a while ("no known bugs"). It is NOT a limited student version,
it is a lot easier than you-know-who to install, and it does
not require a separate program to print graphs.
For what it's worth, we have a Macintosh version that is available
NOW, quite Mac-ish but also macro compatible ... .
