Quattro Pro v. 4.0 has an audit feature which can trace the
relationships among cells, starting with a single cell.  I believe
that other spreadsheets have it as well.  I have two complaints about
Borland's implementation: it is slow (2 or so minutes on my 386-20)
and often it blows the memory when I have 4MB of expanded memory available.
