Spread32 - basic spreadsheet

[helvecio34]

Hello,

I use SPREAD32 to do some tables. Now I need to print them, but I can see how to do it.

In my copy of Spread32 (version 2.01), there's the normal Print entry in the File menu, which also offers the standard keyboard shortcut in parentheses (Ctrl+P).

In the last freeware version (1.18) [http://www.321download.com/LastFreeware/page14.html] there is a print dialogue. Note that versions after 1.18 are not freeware, but are shareware.

Thanks, Cornflower - I switched to the last free version. I don't remember where I got 2.1, but I had somehow thought of it as nagware - even though the nag popup states that it's shareware! Version 1.18 seems to be just as good, anyway.

According to the web site, http://www.byedesign.freeserve.co.uk/devdiary.htm the current version is 2.02 .

The version without the Print dialog is probably the one from the FloppyOffice bundle, in the database.

Version 1.18 is a good find. The program uses the registry, however. (Although, you can run it from a USB stick, recent files and such are what is stored in the Registry.)

I liked this program so much that I registered it. I have talked to the author several times. In Version 2.02, Stephen started to make it portable. However a small bug remains. The next release has it fixed. No word on a release date, though.

Regards,
Dan

I use version V19991112 Beta, the last freeware release.

It´s very instable.

Thanks for all

That is not the last freeware release (version V19991112 Beta) - it's the very limited release in Floppy Office / Tiny USB Office that is completely portable and stealth.

As Cornflower said, the last free version is 1.18

For lack of a better option, I made the present one the official forum topic for Spread32 (http://www.portablefreeware.com/?id=561).

[Spread32 is a] Straightforward application that provides users with a simple means of creating spreadsheets, adding all sorts of formulas and elements, and export data to a file.

Spread32 isn't fully portable, since it saves (some minor) settings in the system registry at 'HKCU\Software\Bye Design\Spread32', which can be solved with the following config for yaP launcher:

Code: Select all

; configuration file for yaP v0.6.19 (http://rolandtoth.hu/yaP/)
; application name: Spread32
; version: v1.18
; website: http://www.byedesign.co.uk/

[GENERAL]
application = App\Spread32.exe
; commandline = 
; workdir = 

[BEFORE]
regkey =  HKCU\Software\Bye Design\Spread32
; dir = %Appdata%\Dir
; file = %Appdata%\Dir\File.ini
; regkey = HKCU\Software\RegKey

[AFTER]
-regkey = HKCU\Software\Bye Design :: ifempty
...

Spread32 homepage is at http://www.byedesign.co.uk/, but it has gone shareware in latest versions (currently v2.05; changelog is at http://www.byedesign.co.uk/devdiary.htm).

Spread32 v1.18, the last freeware version, can be downloaded from www.321download.com/LastFreeware/page14.html#Spread32.

@webfork: please amend OP/move this topic as you see fit. Thanks in advance.

new versions has been released on his website

[lintalist]

v1.18 we have here on TPFC is the last freeware version, newer versions are shareware afaik.

[Midas]

@Lintalist: true, but please note the following from the program homepage...

The Shareware version is free and not time-limited

FTR, Spread32 latest shareware release is currently v3.06 (mixed changelog at http://www.byedesign.co.uk/devdiary.htm; shareware versions download available from http://www.byedesign.co.uk/s32/).

@Midas

But buried in the FAQ is:

The only difference between the Shareware and Registered versions is that the Shareware version has a message that is displayed each time you use one of the File menu options.

So, you know, "free"!

[Midas]

Correct.

All file operations (open, save, and so on) trigger the display of the dialog box below; none of the data editing options do that, though...
