Thanks to Graham72 for providing a disk of SuperCalc2 available on a Microbee disk. A system was added to make it bootable and auto start. After much searching, a manual was located on the internet and after much cleanup, its a very readable 214 page A4 Users Guide and Reference Manual.
SuperCalc2 was released in April 1983 by Sorcim Corporation, USA. It was a widely used Spreadsheet program back in its days and a competitor to Multiplan. What is SuperCalc2 -
The SuperCalc2 program turns your micro computer into a powerful electronic spreadsheet. With SuperCalc2 you can:
• Lay out your spreadsheet in a convenient manner.
• Perform any type of spreadsheet calculation that you once did with paper and pencil.
• Perform a large number of calculations quickly.
• Supply headings and text material without affecting the calculations.
• Consolidate spreadsheets.
• Print professional-looking reports.
• Include the report information in other documents.
The SuperCalc2 spreadsheet consists of a two dimensional grid containing cells at the intersection of each row and column. SuperCalc2 has the facilities to enter information into these cells and to interrelate them using the powerful but easy to use logical commands and built in mathematical functions.
Because many computations are performed swiftly, you can easily set up "what-if" modeling spreadsheets.
The uses for SuperCalc2 are limited only by your imagination. Some of the more common uses are:
• Balance sheets
• Cash flow analysis/forecasting
• General ledger
• Inventory records
• Job cost estimates
• Market share analysis and planning
• Patient records
• Profit projections
• Profit statements
• Project budgeting and control
• Salary records
• Sales projections and records
• Tax estimation
So on the MbeeTech Repository in the Microbee\Software\Applications folder we placed
supercalc2_v1.0_ds40.dsk
supercalc2_users_guide_&_reference_manual.pdf <-- in documentation\manuals\software folder
