Title: Spreadsheet Applications
Post by: on March 25, 2003, 04:29:07 PM: hello all
does anybody know of any decent spreadsheet program on the amiga? i have tried turbocalc 5 in the past but are there any better ones which can match up to similar packages on the pc such as excel? are there also any spreadsheet programs still in development for the amiga?

thanks in advance for any help :-)

Right now, though, TurboCalc might still be supported, but other than that I don't know of any spreadsheet on the Amiga that is still supported much less keeping up with Excel.

At home, I have Final Calc, but I hardly ever use it.

I dont get much time to mess about with it either,
but Excel aint all its cracked up to be - loads of features one doesnt really need in a spreadsheet and its bloated and buggy too !

I feel that TC ( i have 3.?) has most of what one really wants in an amiga spreadsheet including an AREXX port - havent played with that yet, either !

did I mention Excel's bloat ? :-P

Would you know if v5 will convert files from finalcalc?

Thanks,
