Excel's maximum size was 256 columns by 16384 rows, while <b>Wingz could handle spreadsheets up to 32768 in both directions. </b>At the time spreadsheets were still being compared primarily on this feature. A less-obvious feature was that <b>Wingz allowed simple in-cell editing, </b>whereas contemporary versions of Excel forced you to use a separate data-entry bar.</p> <!-- google_ad_section_start --><div class="field field-type-content-taxonomy field-field-category-app"> <div class="field-label">Category:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> Business &amp; Productivity </div> </div> </div> <!-- google_ad_section_end --><div class="field field-type-content-taxonomy field-field-author"> <div class="field-label">Author:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> Informix </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-content-taxonomy field-field-year"> <div class="field-label">Year released:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> 1989 </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-content-taxonomy field-field-publisher-2"> <div class="field-label">Publisher:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> Informix </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-system"> <div class="field-label">System:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> System 6.x </div> <div class="field-item even"> System 7.0 - 7.6 </div> <div class="field-item odd"> Mac OS 8 - 8.1 </div> <div class="field-item even"> Mac OS 9 </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-emulation"> <div class="field-label">Emulation:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> SheepShaver (PPC) </div> <div class="field-item even"> Mini vMac (68k) </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-architecture"> <div class="field-label">Architecture:&nbsp;</div> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> 68k </div> <div class="field-item even"> PPC </div> </div> </div> <p><a href="http://macintoshgarden.org/apps/wingz" target="_blank">read more</a></p> http://macintoshgarden.org/apps/wingz#comments Business & Productivity 1989 Informix Sat, 20 Jul 2013 02:06:56 +0000 vintagegeek 7112 at http://macintoshgarden.org
