Spreadsheets
Article Abstract:
There are three main spreadsheet packages available for microcomputers. They are Lotus 1-2-3, Microsoft Excel and Novell Quattro Pro. Lotus 1-2-3 release 5.0 is a powerful spreadsheet package with several useful functions, including the ability to create a graphic of a map and a workgroup spreadsheet capability. Microsoft Excel 7.0 is part of the Office '95 suite although it is also available as stand-alone package. New features include AutoCorrect which corrects misspellings of words. Novell Quattro Plus has always been a powerful spreadsheet package, but is only keeping pace with its rivals rather than outdistancing them.
