This sc is a port of the public domain sc Unix spreadsheet calculator.

A newer version was posted a few months ago. The sources of the news 'sc'
are in: /usr/NeWS/clientsrc/client/sc.

There is also a man page in that directory: sc.man

I advise getting the newer version, it is much better, although
it does not run under NeWS (which offers no advantages).
(Like any other screen oriented Unix program it uses
the /etc/termcap database and it will ofcourse run
in a normal psterm window).
