Product Announcement - AnalytiCalc
	April 23, 1985

	General Cybernetic Engineering announces its new integrated PC
software system AnalytiCalc.
	The AnalytiCalc system combines spreadsheet, equation solving
(including matrix math missing in TK!Solver), "outline" style integration
of word processing and graphics, database retrieval from within
calculations, graphics utilities, and simple communications with
other system files and files from mainframe or other micro systems.
It runs in 256K or more memory on IBM PC, XT, or AT and most MSDOS
machines and in this space provides a full sized spreadsheet. This is
done by a virtual memory architecture which allows the system to
handle over 2 megabytes of spreadsheet data as needed, using disk
memory as backup storage for the computations. Thus, spreadsheets
of much larger complexity than other systems such as Lotus 1-2-3
can be handled easily. Typically at least 2 times more cells can
be used than 1-2-3 allows on large memory PCs.
	Command macros are external to worksheets and may be called
as complete programs from any cell or cells. Additionally, the entire
program can be driven from command files and provides journaling of
commands as a safety feature. Database functions are built in to
permit access to database files by keys, with additional functions
providing access to other spreadsheets. A recursive macro substitution
front-end provides a generalization of the usual "naming" capability.
Provision is also made for any DOS command to be executed under control
of the spreadsheet module.
	For the text-oriented, documents can be included in printout
in a variety of formats, loaded, and manipulated as desired. Spreadsheet
pages can be inserted in between documents, as can graphs produced by
the ACGRAF utility provided. While the editing is done via a separate
utility (one is provided but any word processor or editor may be
used), the spreadsheet has powerful integration capabilities to pull
documents together and/or reorganize them.
	The program sells for $49.55 (+$5 S/H) on DSDD floppies in
MSDOS/PCDOS 2.0 format. To better serve its customers, G.C.E. does not
copy protect AnalytiCalc. Thus it can be run from hard disk or memory
disk as desired. The program is faster if an 8087 (80287 on IBM AT) is
present. G.C.E. also intends to offer site licenses for large purchasers
as an option.
