Abstract

SuperCalc 3a is an integrated software package for the Apple IIc and enhanced He, from Sorcim/rus (now known as Computer Associates International). It has spreadsheet, database and graphics capability. The spreadsheet can also be used as a rudimentary word processor to create form letters to be merged with addresses from the database. The package includes the "Sideways" program for printing large spreadsheets as well as a simple com-munications program that uses the XModem file transfer protocol. The program operates under ProDos.
