Lucid ROM Spreadsheet Portable Computer Support Group 11035 Harry Hines Blvd. #207 Dallas, TX 75229 (214) 351-0564 Lucid is a $149.95 snap-in ROM spreadsheet program that has been well recieved by reviewers and users alike. Lucid appears on the Main Menu like a built-in program, and because the software is solid-state, it takes no memory to store...all RAM is available for data storage. This feature-rich spreadhseet for the Model 100 gives you capabilities you cannot equal with Multiplan or 1-2-3...such as a very fast copy or cut from one spreadsheet and paste into another spreadsheet (or even a text file), insert row and insert columns, and you can even type a label that will cross column boundaries. Even though it will let you build a large spreadsheet (255 rows by 126 columns), Lucid is also memory conserving. Where other spreadsheets actually consume 4 or 5 bytes for an unused cell, Lucid uses no memory for empty cells. This lets you build large spreadhseets in your Model 100' RAM that could consume 80 to 100K on a desktop computer. When it comes to speed, while other spreadsheets let you get a cup of coffee when calculating large files, Lucid is fast enough to calculate a 36 column corporate financial statement in less than 4 seconds. Lucid comes with a manual that explains the many software features, even if you've never used a spreadsheet before. You are shown by example how to do budgets, forecasts, breakeven analysis, amortizations and many other types of personal and business reports and calculations. Without a knowledge of programming, you can customize your Lucid files. For example, combined with the spillover length feature, you can design input questions and create a series of prompts. That way, you can have a person unfamiliair with computers enter information that you want to process. You can prepare a report section in your spreadsheet with instructions to your user for printout. All your formulas and tables that did the calculations are provided the facts are invisible to that user. Lucid is useful for doctors with patient questionaires, purchase clerks, people doing job quotes, insurance agents and anybody who needs to process specific facts and numbers to produce a report based on those responses. Lucid is easy to use and has features that take it far beyond the definition of a mere spreadsheet. Lucid is available for $149.95 from Portable Computer Support Group, 11035 Harry Hines Blvd. #207, Dallas, TX 75229. Phone (214) 351-0564.
