Nathan: By far, the spreadsheet having the most options, etc., is Lucid. There is no contest, here. Lucid leads the field for features. Lucid is available from Tri-Mike Network East for just $99.00 on ROM. Multiplan comes in second but is still feature rich, and available on ROM, taking no RAM to operate. Manufactured in the early days of micro computers by Microsoft, Multiplan gained wide use on may systems. Tandy used to see Multiplan for $150. This last summer, Tandy made Club 100 a deal on all existing Multiplans remaining in the warehouse. Multiplan is back in limited quantities for just $19.50 while supplies last. This is a blow-out price which all Model 100/102 users should take advantage of, regardless of any other spreadsheets they end up using. Multiplan is a good choice in spreadsheets. Lastly, the Club 100 online library provides two, public domain spreadsheets, i.e., SPREAD.BA and MINIVC.BA. Both are good but do use RAM for operations. The Club 100 library also has utilities for Lucid users. Online library access is just $12 annually, and there are no download limits or online time limits. Hope this helps... -Rick-
