| Just got my update for ANALYZE! (V2.0). I haven't played with it
much but it comes with some Demos that show off it's capability.
Scroll.. Any region selected by the mouse may be scrolled
beyond the current window view. This is similar
to the improvement that was done for SCRIBBLE!.
Gadget.. Positioning bars have been added on the bottom and the
right to quickly access any region of the spreadsheet.
xport You can xport and import ranges, data, or text from
import.. SCRIBBLE! or another worksheet created with ANALYZE!. It
uses the clipboard feature of the Amiga as a double
buffer region.
123.. In the archive requester there's an option for 123
format file. The manual does not explicitly say that
you can load Lotus 123 files. It say files from
popular spreadsheets for IBM and MS-DOS may be
loaded using this feature.
ICONS.. Saved worksheets have ICONS and run ANALYZE! plus
load that worksheet.
Graphs.. All sorts: 3D, XY, PIE, Stacked, and more
with color, yaw control, IFF format files out,
their own window.
Bold, Underline, and Italics
Macros.. There is one macro that is reserved for startup. Neat!
When you start a worksheet it do any thing you want
even modify itself and then store it self changed
back on disk. You may have 26 other macros defined
(A-Z) and may be executed via ALT-x (where x is the
defined macro letter) or a Lotus like menu binding.
The macro process is a character string binding process.
the binding string sit in you spread sheet next to
the definition of the macro. The bound string has
it's own macro language that will allow you to
do any thing you can do with the mouse. There's
a final process of making a macro named and known
to ANALYZE!. I don't think there's a way to inventory
what has gone through this process other than self
documenting them with in the spreadsheet. The macro
language even has an user entry command.
Menus.. Lotus or Decalc like menu creation and binding. These
are not pull down menus. To get a menu you bind it
to a macro (ALT-x) and go from there.
DRAWBACKS.. It's a larger program. I had a work sheet that was
200k and it's too bit for my 512K now. I tried
a 110k worksheet and it loaded OK. The good news
is that I don't have to use the tricks I need in
the 200k one any more because of macros.
