Review of
CAL-KIT
Reviewed by: David Johnson
Mission Viejo, Ca.
I am sending you a review of a
spreadsheet that I recently acquired
called CAL-KIT by Batteries Included.
It is a relatively inexpensive
spreadsheet program for the C-64 that
can be used for checkbook balancing,
income tax calculations, budget
planning, and 20 different other
financial data calculations that
sometimes seem redundant.
CAL-KIT was not as easy to
learn as it was described to be on
the outside package. I found myself
referring back to the 72-page manual
quite frequently while learning to
use it. It does have some very
useful forms that make calculating
figures much easier and the forms
that are included can be altered and
modified to fit specific needs. It
just takes some time and patience and
maybe some background knowledge of
spreadsheets to use this program to
its full potential. I'm sure there
are better programs out there with
many more fancy features but for
basic home use for not a lot of
money, this program would suffice for
most people.
This program can be expanded to
a full 80 column display by buying a
BI-80 80 column card from Batteries
Included that plugs into the
cartridge port of your C-64.
