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:-) -- Simon Tortike | tel : 403/492-3338 Asst.
