Try the Mariner 1.1c Spreadsheet Utility located in the apps
directory of the info-mac archives at sumex.stanford.edu. I
uploaded it to sumex when someone was anxiously requesting it
and I stumbled on it in America Online.  This shareware program
looks very good--MacUser recently recommended it--and it does
work under System 7.  Over 350 Internet users have downloaded
it, so there should be a few individuals willing to offer their
opinions about it.  The only problem is that the shareware version
is really a demo that stops functioning after 3 weeks.  The author
is asking $40 for it.  How about some opinions?  Is it worth $40?
