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!
