And long before that, Ashton-Tate’s Framework for DOS. Those were the days of innovation—not standardisation (or ‘normalisation’ as the French and Italians would say…)

Framework’s one - fairly significant - limitation being that it ran entirely in RAM. Which made it very fast, but very inflexible, and unable to deal with large data sets (especially in view of the max. 640 KB of RAM back in the day). It could handle extended RAM, mind you, but that really didn’t mean much (from memory, ca. 1.5 MB)!

But it had a great interface (for a DOS app).

Thanks for the heads up on this. I’ll have to check the compatibility with MS Office files, but the programme itself looks impressive.

What I found really brilliant is a horizontal arrow at the top right, next to the vertical arrow to hide/show the ribbon: click to switch to ‘classic’—Office 2003 and earlier—menu bar, click again to switch to ribbon! Now why couldn’t Microsoft have offered that in Office 2007?

and here found another of this kind rarity!

an ALL-IN-ONE software which has:

- an integrated spreadsheet

- integrated word app

- integrated process drawing app

- integrated database

- and even more strange things,

ALL in a MULTIPLE WINDOWS workspace!
