++Spreadsheet Parts of Office Suite++

* Budgie Office Spreadsheet -
http://web.archive.org/web/20040407062220/http://www.modesoft.com/Bud...

- Cool little Office Suite.

* EasyOffice EasySpreadsheet -
http://www.download.com/3000-2079-10058181.html?legacy=cnet - Excel
compatibility is not impressive.

* Gnumeric - http://www.gnome.org/projects/gnumeric/downloads.shtml -
impressive newcomer to Windows. A strong contender to OO Calc below.

* OpenOffice Calc - http://www.openoffice.org/ - The strongest freeware

spreadsheet.

++Stand Alone Freeware++

* Abykus - http://www.abykus.com/ - Impressive freeware.

* cVue - http://www.tucows.com/preview/395926 - Also impressive beta.
Maker has put download availability on hold. Beta is still available
of Tucows.

* Kyplot 2.0 Beta - http://www.woundedmoon.org/win32/kyplot.html -
Spreadsheet ++, has extensive statistics, wave and mathematical
function analysis abilities.

* Sphygmic Software Spreadsheet -
http://www.ds.unifi.it/stefanin/AGR_2001/SH/sssheet.htm - Simple
spreadsheet. Can only open Excel 4.0 files.

* Spread32 - http://www.byedesign.freeserve.co.uk/ - No frills but
still powerful spreadsheet that seems to include all the function Excel

has. According to a post by Susan: "Spread32 is now "honor sytem"
Shareware - not Freeware ("The Shareware version is free and
not time-limited, and can be downloaded from the
table below").

++Online Spreadsheets++

* Thinkfree Online Spreadsheet - http://online.thinkfree.com/ - Very
impressive Beta spreadsheet. Uses Java. May be the English online
version of spreadsheet from the Korean office suite HaanSoft Office

* irows - http://www.irows.com/xo/Welcome.do - Looks good but seems to
be Google ad supported. Excel import worked OK, but some sheets of
workbook did not import and some did. You can make your spreadsheet
viewable by anybody and they give you code for referencing it in a Web
page or blog.

* num sum - http://numsum.com/ - allows the import of Excel based web
saved spreadsheets. I couldn't get it to import mine though. It looks

like they allow sharing to the whole Web. Nice concept, sort of like
Google Base.

* jotspot tracker - http://tracker.jot.com/ - nicely imported some
Excel cells, no direct import just copy and paste. You can make 2
spreadsheets for free
and share them with 5 people.

* Excel Viewer -
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=c8378bf4-996...

- Useful freebie in a pinch.

I downloaded this one but have not installed it yet.....

I had some problems with this one, but I just don't remember what they were.
It seemed as if it was a security issue or intrusive issue, although it is
supposed to be very good. I uninstalled it though because of the
problem-whatever it was. Sorry, that's all I recall.

I will check that one out. Thanx. I use AseasyAs from Triusincdotcom, which
is a 49 dollar thingy-ma-bob, but I am always looking for this kind of
utility. I bought an old computer back in 1989 or 1990 at a flea market
with a printer. I found a 5.5 floppy of the triusinc thing (shareware) and
began my spreadsheet stuff. When I moved on to a real computer (with
Win98) I eventual bought Aseasyas-then I discovered this newsgroup. This
newsgroup is a real Gem.

Thanx.
