The following was sent to me, apparently under the impression that I'm
in charge of something...

Subject: Some basic Andrew questions

Mr. Plotkin,

I recently found the Andrew site and have been looking at the demo, etc.
with my main interest in the Table spreadsheet.  I work on a reusable
software project for the Air Force and am part of the Software
Evaluation Team.  Presently, I am looking for spreadsheet software,
which is either Public Domain or Governmental-off-the-shelf software.

Anyway, I was wondering about Table.  Is it a stand-alone package (able
to be used without the rest of the Andrew world)?  Is it a
full-functioning spreadsheet, or basic token spreadsheet, to be used for
simple applications? Finally, can Table produce graphs and/or charts to
represent the spreadsheet data?  Or can it be used in conjunction with a
graphics package to create graphs/charts?

Thank you for your time.  I'm sorry for the "naivete" of these
questions, but I wasn't able to find docs on Table in the Table subdir
on emsworth.andrew.cmu.edu and didn't come across too much on Table in
the running demo which I logged into.

If Table is not to be recommended, is there any spreadsheet software
that you would suggest which would be Public Domain or governmentally
developed??

Thank you!
