I've got two things on my desk: a NCD X-terminal and a WYSE-286 PC running
windows and the excellent EXCEL spreadsheet.

Actually I almost can't believe what John writes. What are these guys
doing? There's nothing wrong with spreadsheet technology. I think I can do
the things John is asking for with multiplan (circa 1982?!) on my C-64.
(except for the user interface maybe)

Does anyone know of a decent spreadsheet for X/SunView?
