!!!Synapse SynCalc ; Copyright (C) 1983, 1985 Synapse Software Corp. and Mike Silva
SynCalc from Synapse and programmed by Mike Silva is the(!) spreadsheet for the Atari 8 bit. No program of that kind reaches the performance SynCalc does.\\
Officially, 2 version were sold, one from 1983 and the other from 1985. Of course, there are others out there in the web, mostly patched and cracked ones.\\

* 1983 Version, works with all models and Axlon (up to 256k) compatiable RAM expansions, ATX available

!!1983 Version
The 1983 version was the first one, it had some bugs, but was and still is marvelous. The only bug we know is as follows:\\
if you have a value in the 255th line and insert one line more, the Atari crashes and your work is lost. In my opinion a bug we can live with. __If you have a bug-list of the 1983 version, please let us know. Your help is very much appreciated in this case.__
\\
!!1985 Version
The 1985 version should be free of bugs, further, it was sold with a template disk, please see below. This version uses extended RAM, if available. For example, in an Atari 130XE there is more than 80 KB RAM available. But the user has to take care, because the limit for storing data on diskette is 90 KB. __The goal should be, to create an atr-image for all Ataris (Classic, XL, XE) free of bugs and just limited to the installed RAM. Further, to get rid of the 90 KB data storage limit.__

!!1993 Version

!1983 Version
Appears to be based on the 1983 version. All "STA $CFFF" bank select statements are replaced by "JSR $0101", pointing to a small subroutine that maps the Axlon bank number to and XE bank in PORTB.
