skill level get their work done quickly and easily, while continuing to
provide the most powerful analytical tools of any DOS spreadsheet. Quattro

"Quattro Pro 5.5 for DOS is yet another milestone in spreadsheet

supports any user-defined series. SpeedFormat offers users 25 colorful
custom formats and does all the work for the user by adding fonts, line
drawing, numeric formats and more. Quattro Pro 5.5 also makes it simple

access to a wider range of printing options, including the latest HP
LaserJet printers.

"Our environment has the full spectrum of users from novice to expert, and

encourage DOS applications, and I feel that the enhancements in Quattro
Pro 5.5 for DOS continue to make Quattro Pro the best spreadsheet for the
DOS environment."
