[Phys-L] Re: Excel substitute

Sorry for this second message, but I forgot one of the other packages which
is super and inexpensive.

See Software995 and look at the OpenOffice package.  If you can stand the
startup and occasional ad then it is free.

the URL to the info page is

> http://www.openoffice995.com/<

Again this is one I recommend to the students and I personally use the
PDF995 program all the time as it is really slick and then everyone can read
the documents I place in the course.

Again, sorry for the fractured note....the older I get the slower the
retrieval of data.......;^)
