- Product Information for TurboCalc 3.5
- =====================================
- © 1993-95 by Michael Friedrich
-
-
- TurboCalc 3.5 is the powerful successor to the program TurboCalc 2.0,
- which defined a new standard for spread-sheet analysis on the Amiga.
-
- TurboCalc 3.5 uses an enhanced, easy-to-use user interface, utilising
- numerous innovations such as Drag & Drop for copying/moving or filling with
- the mouse, even easier selection of functions, freezing of sheet titles or
- the displayable status row. A multiple Undo/Redo of a variable depth
- reverses the effect of erroneous data or commands and can save much work,
- as can the Autosave and Backup options.
-
- Thanks to the new object concept which allows insertion and printing of
- charts, texts, drawings, IFF-images ... directly in the sheet, sheets can
- now be more effectively created and designed.
- Charts (e.g. the new 3D bar and pie charts) can be directly placed beside
- the appropriate number sequence. Longer texts can be compactly accomodated
- in a cell comprising several lines. The formfeed visible in the sheet as
- well as the print preview funct on assist in achieving optimal layout on
- screen, saving both paper and time.
-
- All this can be committed to paper with using improved print routines, or
- be integrated in your text processing software as IFF graphics or text (via
- file or clipboard).
-
- A database mask is now available to allow easier management of your
- TurboCalc databases.
-
- The most significant enhancements:
- - Objects (chart, text, drawing, picture...) can be directly
- inserted into the sheet and have a macro attached, and also
- be printed in the graphic mode.
- - Cells may contain several lines.
- - Drag-and-Drop for moving/copying/changing the size of blocks
- by the mouse.
- - Multiple Undo/Redo
- - Chart module vastly expanded (new chart types, 3D, Auto-
- Refresh, ...).
- - Preview for the printing of graphics (from OS2.0 on).
- - Formfeed visible in the sheet.
- - Data-Mask for an easier input/display of data records.
- - Status row displayable with short online-help.
- - (Maximal) number of columns increased: now up to 18278 columns
- can be used (A..ZZZ) [together with up to 9 999 999 rows]
- - Clipboard support for easy data exchange with text
- processing programs.
- - Sheets can be saved as IFF-images (e.g. for an easy export to
- text processing programs).
- - Autosave (every x minutes, alternatively the last version will
- be kept).
- - New Import & Export-Formats: Excel 4 (XLS) and Lotus 123 (.WK1/.WKS)
- both can import formulas, the xls-filter even keeps most
- of the cell formatting.
- - Fast and easy access to the last used projects via "SmartOpen"
- - Encrypting sheets using a very sophisticated cryptograhic
- algorithm
- - Complete support of OS2.x/3.x (Locale support, memory-
- pools, AmigaGuide).
- - reqtools-Filerequester is supported!
- - Amiga-Guide help file can directly be accessed from TurboCalc.
- - Requester for inserting functions/macros now with
- categories to allow an easier and faster access
- - Many new functions/macros.
- - TurboCalc-Libraries for an easy expansion of TurboCalc
- with external functions, macros, objects, etc.
- (Documentation to program own libraries included)
- - Numerous general improvements (e.g. saving the cursor
- position, special colors for every sheet, "hidden"
- password inquiry ...)
