Mesa<TM> 2 for OS/2<R>
The spreadsheet that's more than the sum of its parts.
Personal Edition
Native for OS/2
Mesa 2 for OS/2 is a native OS/2 spreadsheet that works the way you
expect it to. Mesa 2 offers context-sensitive online help and pop-up
menus, is SOM<TM>8 and CUA compliant, and includes
OpenDoc<R>8spreadsheet parts.
Include your favorite REXX<TM> programs as Mesa 2 Scripts, or record
Scripts directly within Mesa, to execute a series of commands with a
single operation. REXX programs can access Mesa features through our
MScript functions.
Mesa 2 takes full advantage of OS/2's advanced technology. Every Mesa
file runs in its own thread, and Mesa 2 supports multi-threaded
real-time feeds that update your data moment-by-moment, based on
changes in the stock market or other real-time sources, without
interrupting your work.
Objects to the Core
Mesa's Object Library Interface (MOLI)<TM> provides you with a
library of SOM-compliant C++ objects and OpenDoc parts that you can
incorporate into your own custom applications or compound documents.
Reliable and Fast
Mesa 2 seamlessly integrates time-tested, award-winning technology
for advanced operating systems with the full power of OS/2. Mesa 2
offers the speed and reliability you expect from a 32-bit operating
environment P fast file loading and saving, fast recalculation, and
3-D workbooks containing billions of cells in which to store and
analyze your data.
Features Found in No Other Spreadsheet
Formula Inheritance<TM> lets you apply object-oriented design to
building and maintaining your spreadsheets, by dynamically linking
ranges. When you change a formula in one cell, all linked cells
automatically inherit the new formula, eliminating tedious
cut-and-paste operations.
Use SmartFill to generate dynamic sequences of numbers, days, months
etc., or to dynamically link a range of cells through Formula
Inheritance, with a single keystroke.
Easy to Use
Drag and drop ranges, color, fonts, and graphs wherever you want
them.
Two- and three-dimensional graphing capabilities allow you to
effectively communicate the meaning of your data through bar and
column graphs, scatter and line graphs, pie charts, 3-D graphs, and
more.
