In the United States alone, there are literally millions of spreadsheet users . Spreadsheet products have continued to evolve during this period-both in their capabilities and functions and in the uses to which they've been put . Today, spreadsheet programs like the VisiCalc program are used in applications as diverse as farm management, estate planning, and inventory balancing . Visi On CalcTM By giving you access to several different spreadsheets at the same time, each displayed in its own window, the Visi On Calc program gives you back the flexibility you had when you could move paper worksheets around on your desk . Gone are the limitations of working with one huge electronic spreadsheet containing many different kinds o f data. The new Visi On Calc program is a significant step in the evolution of spreadsheet products . It's a result of many years of study and development that gives today's user perhaps the broadest set of modeling capabilities to be found in any existing spreadsheet product . Among these capabilities, the Visi On Calc spreadsheet program has these unique characteristics : Windows The Visi On windowing environment lets you use and display several spreadsheets at the same time . Because of this, you can use them more naturally-more like you would do if you were constructing them on paper .

  • An Interview with DAN BRICKLIN and BOB FRANKSTON OH 402
    An Interview with DAN BRICKLIN AND BOB FRANKSTON OH 402 Conducted by Martin Campbell-Kelly and Paul Ceruzzi on 7 May 2004 Needham, Massachusetts Charles Babbage Institute Center for the History of Information Technology University of Minnesota, Minneapolis Copyright, Charles Babbage Institute Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston Interview 7 May 2004 Oral History 402 Abstract ABSTRACT: Dan Bricklin and Bob Frankston discuss the creation of VisiCalc, the pioneering spreadsheet application. Bricklin and Frankston begin by discussing their educational backgrounds and experiences in computing, especially with MIT’s Multics system. Bricklin then worked for DEC on typesetting and word-processing computers and, after a short time with a small start-up company, went to Harvard Business School. After MIT Frankston worked for White Weld and Interactive Data. The interview examines many of the technical, design, and programming choices in creating VisiCalc as well as interactions with Dan Fylstra and several business advisors. Bricklin comments on entries from his dated notebooks about these interactions. The interview reviews the incorporation of Software Arts in 1979, then describes early marketing of VisiCalc and the value of product evangelizing. There is discussion of rising competition from Mitch Kapor’s 1-2-3 and the steps taken by Fylstra’s software publishing company Personal Software (later VisiCorp). Part II of the interview begins with Bricklin and Frankston’s use of a Prime minicomputer to compile VisiCalc’s code for the Apple II computer. There is discussion of connections to Apple Computer and DEC, as well as publicity at the West Coast Computer Faire. The two evaluate the Fylstra essay, reviewing the naming of VisiCalc and discussing the division of labor between software developers and Fylstra as a software publisher.
