A N A L Y T I C A L C A Full-Featured System for Numerical Analysis and Reporting Overview: The AnalytiCalc system from General Cybernetic Engineering includes a full featured spreadsheet, graphics programs, documents, and facilities for performing many commonly needed functions. Database data extraction and word processing integration are built in. A scheduling program is also furnished for calendar, meeting scheduling, and similar functions. Features include: * 18000 by 18000 cell spreadsheet size using virtual memory so that the ENTIRE sheet can be used. Total storage can be as much as 6 times greater than possible using popular programs such as 1-2-3 on a memory-loaded PC. The 256K version gives full capacity. Over 2 megabytes of virtual storage is available and no penalty for using cells other than in the upper left corner of the address space exists. * Full random access to other saved spreadsheet formulas or values from any cells. * Easy save or merge of partial sheets with the most flexible cell addressing in the industry. * As many windows on screen as you like. Up to 400 can be handled on screen, and more on printouts. You're not limited to 2, 4, or 8 regions as you are in some programs. * Ability to drive any cell from external macros, or to drive the entire sheet from other external macros. * Functions provided for extracting data by keys from data files on the system, or for reading in normal ASCII files and automatically breaking them up for easy calculation. * Automatic "audit" display available to allow you to see exactly how the formulas on your spreadsheet are related. Can be printed out in this format also. * Built in matrix algebra, random number generation, date arithmetic and conversions between all necessary date formats. Can compute weekdays. * Ability built in to vary up to 8 parameters automatically to solve systems of equations. Used with cell programs and/or matrix algebra routines, this gives mathematical power unparalleled in machines of the PC class. Also linear regression, Fourier transforms available. * Full selection of scientific, engineering, logical, business, and arithmetic functions. Up to 109 characters of formula per cell, which may contain multiple equations. (One AnalytiCalc cell can frequently do the work of several cells in other programs.) * Table addressing functions and lookup functions useful for multi dimensional access around the sheet. * Conditionals, display sorting, access to formulas (rather than values) for sorts, dynamic modifications of formulas where desired. * Recursive macro substitution capability for simple re-use of complex parts of formulas. In 320K version, this may be done by name; in 256K version, by address. * Fast add/subtract multiple whole sheets (for summaries or to highlight changes.) * 60 scratch accumulators global to the sheet. * Graph outputs and Word Processing documents may be overlayed onto sheet, included within it, or even nested as frames under control of the AnalytiCalc program. One and two dimensional plots and piechart programs are provided. * Mechanism for executing any DOS commands from within AnalytiCalc without losing context. May be driven by macros (command files) anywhere they are legal. * Can be run from auxiliary terminal if desired; ANSI cursor controls on the auxiliary terminal are all that is required. * Uses 8087 for faster calculations if available. Understands full PCDOS 2.0 path filename syntax. * Large help system permitting online discovery of most command formats. Full manual available online with search utility to facilitate locating critical information quickly. F1 used as help key (as is common in many DOS programs). User may expand command set using supplied files. * Deliberately NOT copy-protected to simplify user backup, use from memory disks or hard disks. (We object to programs that make it hard for you to use them.) * Runs on most any MSDOS machine if sufficient usable memory exists. * Quick graphics command allows you to generate one or two dimensional plots from a single keystroke. * 1-2-3 (tm) type command interface or "command-mostly" interface to avoid typing lots of "/" keys when desired. * Several computation methods for speed. * Graphics utilities generate histograms, scatterplots, piecharts, line graphs, linear regressions, and more. Output for histograms and scatterplots may go to ANY MSDOS device or file. The AnalytiCalc system is priced, not at $500.00, but at $49.95 because we believe that good software should be inexpensive so that it will be widely available and used. We prefer to make a small profit on each sale rather than try to impoverish a smaller number of users by charging a larger price. We believe the $500 packages are over priced; try this one and see if you don't agree. A slowed-down and less capable version of AnalytiCalc may be obtained through PC-SIG. The full, current, faster version is available direct from General Cybernetic Engineering. Send check, money order, or (if a well-known company) P.O. for $49.95 plus $5.00 postage/handling to: General Cybernetic Engineering P.O. Box 748 Mt. Holly, NJ 08060 (609-261-3709 for dealer queries) AnalytiCalc will be shipped to you in return. Try it! It's not only the most powerful spread-base in the industry; it's one of the most inexpensive. 256K memory and PCDOS (or MSDOS) 2.0 or later are required (somewhat more memory for MSDOS 3.x or some non-PCDOS machines or machines with weird memory restrictions like PCjr.)
