: I guess I'm not understanding the point here: if it is a
: zero-creativity, unimportant nobrainer, then why would anyone take
: Lotus's?  If it is so easy to invent, and implement, your own, why not
: just do it and not use someone else's?

It is a no-brainer to write and to create, but it takes brain waves to
use.  Many people don't want to try to remember what the command to
recalculate is on this spread sheet.  I've seen Mr Everhart's fine
package at work, and it takes some getting use to if you have used
1-2-3.  I've also looked at the code, and it looks like it didn't take
much creative effort to write (no slam on Mr Everhart is intended
here, the code is dead simple because it implements a dead simple
idea).

Besides, people aren't taking Lotus' implementation, they are copying
the command set used by it.  Kinda like trying to copyright the look
and feel of 'C', but with nastier consequences.
