Thanks for everybody's help with previous questions I've sent to this
newsgroup.  Now I'll try another.

A TRS-80 Model III with 48K RAM and 2 floppies is not a high-powered
machine.  It does have enough there to do the accounting work I need,
but I need a little more: a spreadsheet and a database system.

Does anybody know of any spreadsheet and database programs that run on
a fully equipped Model III?

I don't need much spreadsheet: 12 columns and 20 rows would be useful.

The database system needs a little sophistication.  It should be able
to read and write from floppy files and do simple arithmetic using a
filed program.

By the way, I haven't picked out an accounting program yet: any ideas?
Wanted: double-entry, flexible reports, including flow-of-funds
statement ("changes in financial position"): not size but sophistication.

For a spreadsheet try Visacalc, for data base try Profile.
These will probably have to be ordered directly from
Ft Worth. Might also look through some back issues
of 80 MICRO.. there _were_ plenty of vendors pushing
M-III software... but its been a few years ago.

Simple. For spread sheets, get Visicalc. For simple data bases, get the
creator. Thats about 10 dollars. It doesn't do filed programs (not really);
instead it writes a different report program for each type of report you
want.
 
Not sure where VC is available from for the model 3; The Creator is from
Bruce Tonkin, I don't remember the address. (next week)
