NEW YORK —
Lotus Development Corp. and Tandy Corp. have unveiled a spreadsheet software product designed for Tandy’s DeskMate screen environment and geared to small-business users of personal computers.
The companies said the software package, Lotus Spreadsheet for DeskMate, incorporates many features of the Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet package, including a database and graphics.
The product was developed by Lotus to run with Tandy’s DeskMate interface, which controls the appearance of a computer’s screen.
The new spreadsheet program can be used for tasks such as cash flow management and budget forecasts. The package will run on all Tandy personal computers and most IBM-compatible machines.
