Spreadsheet for OpenVMS

[Larry_139]

What would be a good spreadsheet for OpenVMS. I'm not looking for anything too extravagent.

I've created a lot of text files with data - and would like a package to generate bar / stacked bar type charts.

Thanks in advance,
Larry

We used to have 'dec-calc', I don't know where that is now. You started it with '$calc'. Worked much like lotus-123.

Good'ol datatrieve likes to read data from text files ('domains') and present them in reports as well as graphs. That product is still alive.

I just checked 'tti_intouch' from the freeware cd, but that does not seem to have graph support.

fwiw,
Hein.

DEC-Calc:
The last version was on the VAX distro Jun2001-CD2 (4.0B). But it was VAX only and support is long gone, I fear.

Hi Larry,

hopefully the porting team for OpenOffice will present the release for OpenVMS very soon.
This will be very extravagant. :-)

Years ago, we used 20/20, which seemed quite robust. I believe it was owned (developed?) by Access Technology, but I found the following SPD for CA-20/20, so it's likely CA bought it around the same time they were buying up a lot of good (and in many cases inexpensive) VMS apps and utilities.

I'm not able to find any other active references to 20/20. I'm guessing that CA killed it after buying it.

A google search also turned up XESS (which I'd never heard of) that claims to run on Linus, UNIX, VMS & WNT. They offer a trial version download.

Also found Freeware AnalyRim: http://www.ptf.com/ptf/products/UNIX/current/0115.0.html

Good luck. I'd be interested to find out what you end up going with and what you think of it.

Here's some information from comp.os.vms on spreadsheets for VMS:

Or the TinyURL equivalent:

You'll see a reference by Glenn Everhart to his AnalyRIM from 2002, so I'd guess that it was working on at least VMS V7.3.

You may be able to find it on one of the older OpenVMS Freeware CDs or on one of the web sites that VMS freeware.

Analyrim is on Freeware V4
