o piggyback on what Brion Patterson and Lowell Herr have said,
almost any good spreadsheet will do.  The Quattro series is
certainly excellent, but it may have more power than you need.
According to Neel Beard, the efficiency curve peaked at Quattro
Pro 3.  Beyond that, according to Neel, the extra bells and
whistles slow the program down a bit, but do little for us in
physics.  If however, you are running on a 386 or 486, you
should not notice any time differences.  Besides, most of the
stuff that has been added we'll never use anyway. It wasn't
designed to do science, but rather business and that sort of
thing.
