I know this subject comes up every now and again, but I want to appeal
once more. Is there anyone out there with access to the sources for
the Trapeze program (a no-longer supported spreadsheet from DeltaPoint
Software) who could recompile it as a 32-bit clean application, assuming
that is possible? I still run it under System 7.01, but have to turn off
32-bit mode to do so. I have tried to use Excel 4.0 but its scalar limitations
make it weak compared to Trapeze's intuitive use of linear algebraic 
concepts, despite Excel 4's heavily laden set of features. Has anyone
tried to prepare a histogram with Excel 4? You have to configure a separate
macro sheet, and it requires a menu operation to run! This is just one
example to illustrate how far removed Excel is from practical scientific
and engineering use.

Regards, and may the power of flexible dimensioning be with you:-)
