Re: [aclug-L] excel translator

[phrostie <phrostie@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

it's a commercial spread sheet i found from SAL.

http://SAL.KachinaTech.COM/G/4/index.shtml

it does everything i need and lots of things i don't.
it's as close to a excel for linux as i've found.

i forget how much it costs i THINK  it was $35 to register and $75 for disk and manual.
the is a demo that does just about everything including save.
it does have a guilt message that pops up everytime you stat it.
