DC.SUB
    This submit file loads DCALC with a spreadsheet specified on
    the command line. E.G:
    
        SUBMIT DC EXAMPLES <return>
    
    will run DCALC and automatically load it with the spreadsheet
    named EXAMPLES. Note that the file SUBMIT.COM must be accessable
    from the current drive. If the command
    
        SETDEF [order = (COM,SUB)]
    
    is included in your PROFILE.SUB file, then SUBMIT does not have to
    be invoked explicitly.

DCALC was written in the C language, compiled with the HiSoft C Compiler,
and uses the library of floating point mathematics functions by Edenmay Ltd.

Version 1.1 June 1988

This version fixes two bugs discovered in release 1.0:

    error in calculation of sum across columns
    error when scrolled to bottom row of spreadsheet

DCALC is now in the public domain (i.e. it is no longer shareware!) Ignore the
shareware registration stuff in the manual - I no longer own a PCW, so supporting
the product would be difficult (thanks to Ashley Shepherd for the loan of his PCW,
to make these fixes!). As a result of fixing the bugs, I now have a version of
DCALC for the atari ST. If anyone would like a copy, just get in touch....
