Wasn't this a win16 program?? I uninstalled so long ago that I can
remember little of it-- yet I do have ~memory of some .vbx and other
blatant win16 smells.

I haven't tried the OpenOffice.org spreadsheet but my impression is that

I haven't tried it either, yet sure prefer the thought of moving beyond
Sphyg '93.

Off topic to this thread, but wanted to bring in that /if/ I were willing
to run win16 programs, I'd be examining if these major brands were truly
abandonware, and likely use them instead.

What you say is true. The reasons I nominated it were:

1. There is a request that a stand-alone spreadsheet be included in
the Pricelessware listings, and AFAIK this is the only one that
exists.
2. Sphygmic may not be state-of-the-art, but it is quite satisfactory
for ordinary number crunching, such as simple business and financial
records, and it does have some charting capabilities. I use it myself
to track a significant investment portfolio and related tax records.
3. It provides people who want a simple spreadsheet program with an
attractive freeware alternative to Excel, and an easy-download
alternative to Open Office at 63.5Mb.

Thank you for your fine work, Susan!

I'm not sure what you mean. Was the request in a post?

There *is* a request on the ACF Freeware Wishlist for a *good*

about spreadsheets (that I am aware of) concluded that no such freeware
program existed. FYI the Wishlist is here:

http://www.pricelessware.org/2003/freewarewishlist.htm

Sphygmic was discussed and found wanting. It would seem more than a bit
contradictory to me to say on the Wishlist that good freeware does not
exist and then turn around and select Sphygmic as Pricelessware.

I do a lot of work with spreadsheets. I don't *need* a freeware program
so I've only played with Sphygmic - have you found a way to print the
data (other than copying and pasting into another program)? I'd be happy
to learn Sphygmic is not as limited as I think it is.

Thank you for your fine work, Susan!

I was referring to the request on the ACF Freeware Wishlist for a

satisfactory for my purposes, I have not tried to print from it. I do
agree with you that preserving the quality of Pricelessware listings
is of paramount importance, and I am willing to withdraw my nomination

Earlier today, in a posting entitled "Budgie Office Suite - anyone
tried?" MK asked if anyone was familiar with this program:

"Budgie is MoDESoft's Budget Office, now free to use. It comprises
Contacts manager, database manager, email manager, schedule,
spreadsheet, word processor, zip file manager, an image tool, fax
controller and manager, CAB file extractor, backup helper, memo pad,
RPN calculator, TVM calculator,metric measures converter, all in one
application or via "plugins".
http://www.modesoft.com/

In a followup post , Mikk noted: "at just under 6MB, I wasn't
expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised Only had a quick look,
but the word processor seems to contain most of the common WP tools
like tables, mail merge and spell check The spreadsheet ditto,
replicate cell formulas and a reasonable amount of functions The
database has only a limited set of field types, and looks fairly
restricted in onlyoffering tables and reports. - but it was just a
quick scan through They've crammed a lot in the 6MB - well worth a
look"

Haven't tried it myself yet, and of course it is too late for a
nomination for this year, but I do see that the program is highly
rated by Tucows and Download.com; perhaps there is hope that one day
we will have a Pricelessware listing for a spreadsheet program, part
of an office suite, that works well and doesn't involve a 63.5Mb
download.

Ack, I went right by that post (I'm checking descriptions and coming
over here for breaks). It's *not* too late for this year. This is
*exactly* what late nominations are for. If you could try it I'd be very
grateful. If it looks good to you I'll check it out and I'm sure others
will too. That would be a very nice find indeed. 602Pro PC Suite also
has a spreadsheet - it's waiting in my in-box but that's a hefty
download (about 20 MB). 6 MB sounds grand!

We better grab it up while we can. Reading things at the site gives me
the idea that this currently available version 1.6 is scheduled to
become the "last freeware version" (?) It's the way he says pay will
be for upgrades, and that 1.7 will be an upgrade. Interpretations?

<quoted excerpts>

http://www.modesoft.com/aboutmodesoft.html

I started to pull what is now Budgie into shape in 2002 with the intention
of selling it for $75 a copy. On its first release in August 2003, I
decided to make it free-to-use (with only basic customer support by email)
with two options for upgrades and priority customer support. These options
are the support plan and the opportunity for users to buy future plugins
and upgrades.

The rationale behind the decision not to charge is quite simple. You out
there are likely to have a look at Budgie if it's free and maybe many of
you will use it or bits of it. I'm writing this on September 10 2003 and
thousands of you have downloaded it since it went live on Download.com and
Tucows.

http://www.modesoft.com/upgrades.htm

We are working on the next release, version 1.7, which will be available
via our upgrade plan for those interested

Version 1.7 will also beef up the Database and Spreadsheet modules. We are
still working on these and expect to release version 1.7 early in November
2003.

For those weighing out taking on this installation, this mention on
the site sounds reassuring:

"Budgie is not intrusive and does not associate its modules with
any file types on your system."

I'll be interested in the report back. My net connect (16k) is so slow
it'd be hours before I could finish a download. In case this 1.6 will
be the only freeware, let's hope that the license file won't state
anything about prohibiting redistribution....

*Very* preliminary report:

The spreadsheet looks promising - it opens up with 100 rows and 52
columns (I was saying unprintable things) . . . but you can add rows and
columns. It can print - options there are not great . . .

It has a help file - seems pretty good - just did a quick browse - I

features - that's *not* good news - copying some of that below. Some of
the other modules look interesting. I think I'll spend my time with the

------------------

Budgie's spreadsheet is nothing ground-breaking because spreadsheets are
just spreadsheets and there's not really anything truly special that can
be done with them unless one tries to out-do Microsoft Excel which would
be unusual in one of 10 modules in a free product! It does, though,
include a large number of built-in formulas.

-----------------

Budgie's "native" spreadsheet save formats are the Binary and CSV modes
(see Saving sheets).

In addition to these you may also open tab-delimited text files (TXT),
Microsoft Excel sheets (XLS) and dBase database tables (DBF).

When opening a TXT file, you will find that it functions as a CSV file,
except that it is very unlikely that there will be any formulas in the
text. This option is primarily to use the spreadsheet as a normal grid
so that you can export the files in other formats if required.

Likewise, opening an Excel sheet reads in the text as though it were
printed by Excel. No formulas are carried across but the native Excel
formatting is preserved.

A dBase table may contain fields other than character fields. If the
fields are number fields they are converted to the text representation,
if they are date fields they are converted to the Windows Short Date
Format, if they are logical fields they are displayed as either True or
False and if they are Memo fields they are ignored and a blank is
written to the relevant cell.

-----------

Sheets have to be saved individually as the spreadsheet has no concept
of a "workbook". Sheets are always saved without the row and column
headers.

You have two options in saving. The preferred one is Binary as this
saves all the settings including formulas, formatting and print
settings. When you save in binary mode, it saves two files - the main
SPR one with the sheet data and a NMR one for any named cells that you
have created. This Binary mode is only for use with Budgie's spreadsheet.

You can also save in portable CSV format that can be read by most other
spreadsheets. This is a text format and you lose all your formatting and
all your named cells. Also some formulas are not portable between
spreadsheets. The only ones of these at present in Budgie are the
time-versus-money functions. You can also save your spreadsheet as a
tab-delimited TXT file that can also be read by most other spreadsheets
and can be read by most word processors. In both of these options, the
formulas are saved with the file rather than the result of the formula.

In addition to these options you can save a spreadsheet in Microsoft
Excel format (without it being necessary to have Excel on your system).
This preserves any formatting you have (except for the special
formatting of formula results) and also exports the formulas. However,
unlike the CSV format where Excel parses the formulas when it loads the
file, the formulas are not automatically parsed when Excel loads an XLS
file (because it expects the XLS file to contain the formulas in a
special way - which varies between versions of Excel). For portability
to all versions of Excel we write the formulas directly as text in the
file. Thus on loading to Excel you will see the formula text rather than
the result of the formula. To get Excel to recognise the formulas, you
have to click on each one to put the text in Excel's Formula Bar, click
the Formula bar and press the Enter key. Excel will then transfer the
formula to its own internal formula storage and the formulas will
function as expected.

Finally, you can save a sheet as a dBase table. To be successful in
saving in this format, the spreadsheet must have the "field names" in
the top row of the grid and all the data underneath, filling the columns
under the field names. This option is provided so that you can use the
spreadsheet to create or open tabular text data and produce a file that
can be imported into Budgie's Contacts. See here for details of how this
import is done.

spreadsheet for now.

I was trying to figure out how much to snip, and found that to keep what's
relevant I'd have to keep almost everything, or nothing. So I'll snip it
off for this followup.

Thank you for focusing on import/export. That is always where I look first,
Before "what can it do?" It's first, "can it read my files?" And, "can I
have my files back please, if I want to stop using the program?" And best,
"can I easily switch back and forth between apps with my files?"

What you quoted from its help docs, shows, as you said, bad news in the
way of spreadsheet compatibilities.

On a sightly different track, it sounded capable in the way of general
(flatfile) database compatibilities. I am aware we're already covered
in that department, basic dbs editors, and that it's for spreadsheet
operations the lack.... Yet for my part, I'll be happy to add another
csv editor to my collection.

That Budgie might be good, as you stated, for beginners: that's good to
hear. There is a definite need, for something basic and reasonably easy,
in the area of dbs and spreadsheet. When I used to teach computers, I had
folks purchase MS Works, including those who already had Office, because
the spreadheet+database of Works was much more suited to their needs. It
met those tasks they wanted done. And it was more easily learnable than
Office, gentler. It would have been nice back then, to have had another
choice, instead of having folks send the $$ off to Redmond.

Other nice thing about its arrival, in general, is not only is it smaller
than 602Pro suite, but that the latter is crippleware. I know 602Pro has
folks in both camps on who calls it crippleware: put me in the UGH-NO-WAY
camp. Additionally, reports here say that company finally lost the last
of its restraint, in its recent version, whacking out most all 602Pro's
vital organs, then sending out the mutated remains as "freeware."

I am glad to have read here the welcome news, about the appearance of
this new, compact office suite.

At six megs...it might win any match automatically, just by having no
competitors in its weight class to get in the ring with it.

Thanks for the additional info and for Omega's tip. I also am
ready to begin review of the spreadsheet since it is the only
module I need. My second of Sphygmic SS may be unnecessary. As
far as the Wishlist is concerned, a dedicated SS would still be
nice and could be smaller, if any interest ever develops.

For the duration of Swen, my address is inoperative.

There *is* a request on the ACF Freeware Wishlist for a *good*
stand-alone spreadsheet. The was added because the last ACF discussion
about spreadsheets (that I am aware of) concluded that no such freeware

There is Gnumeric, available for Linux, unix & Mac OS X, and it should be
possible (though not easy) to compile/use it under Cygwin on Windows...

Heavens no, don't do that. I was expressing my own opinion. YMMV.

FWIW the Sphygmic Spreadsheet *was* on PL2001 - see:

http://www.pricelessware.org/2003/CumulativePL.htm

If Sphygmic Spreadsheet receives 2 votes or more it will be selected as
a winner (it has no competition).

If there are objections they can be raised during the post vote
discussion period. That's when a group consensus would be sought as to
whether or not the program should be included in PL2004.

I found the home page - I believe the language is Swedish . . .

kept looking for a good description - finally cobbled something together
- based on other versions of the program, machine translations of
translations etc. etc. - sort of like reading tea leaves . . .

Could someone who uses the program (and/ or knows the language) check
the description to see if the earlier version shown *is* multi-lingual,
if the two versions of the program do what I said they do . . .

suggest revisions as needed . . . TIA
