SuperCalc is a CP/M-80 spreadsheet application published by Sorcim in 1980.
History[edit]
Sqlpro for postgres 1 0 302. VisiCalc was the first spreadsheet program but its release for the CP/M operating system ran only on the HP-125, Sharp MZ80, and the Sony SMC-70. SuperCalc was created to fill that void and market opportunity. Alongside WordStar, it was one of the CP/M applications bundled with the Osborne 1portable computer. It quickly became popular[citation needed] and was ported to MS-DOS in 1982.
Dice by PCalc, is a physics-based simulation of polyhedral dice for use in tabletop role-playing games with dungeons and/or dragons. Featuring near-photorealistic 3D graphics, it comes with a variety of gorgeous dice sets. Throw multiple dice with advantage or disadvantage, and any given modifier.
An improvement over VisiCalc (though using much the same command structure using the slash key), SuperCalc was one of the first spreadsheet programs capable of iteratively solving circular references (cells that depend on each other's results). It would be over 10 years after the introduction of SuperCalc before this feature was implemented in Microsoft Excel, although in Lotus 1-2-3, manual programming of iterative logic could also be used to solve this issue. According to the SuperCalc product manager, iterative calculations were added when Sorcim changed from binary-coded decimal to binary math. Since the precision of the two math packages was different, some IF statements resolved differently, and iterative calculations helped solve this problem.[1]

PCalc is a universal app - one purchase will work on iPad, iPhone, and Apple Watch. PCalc requires iOS 10 or later. The Apple Watch app requires watchOS 3 or later. PCalc 4.6.3 is available here. A small release, mainly to fix some bugs that have surfaced since 4.6 and Mojave, but I also added a new fraction display line type, and reworked the preferences window so it fits on an 11-inch MacBook Air again. Also, due to popular demand, the window buttons on the calculator are more visible by default now. Movist 2 0 0 beta 19. List of package versions for project pcalc in all repositories.

Versions of SuperCalc were later released for the Apple II, for PCs running MS-DOS, and, after Sorcim was bought by CA Technologies (CA) in 1985, for Microsoft Windows (under the name CA-SuperCalc). SuperCalc was CA Technologies' first personal computer product.[2] The MS-DOS versions were more popular with many users than the market-leading Lotus 1-2-3, because it was distributed without copy protection,[3] as well as being priced lower.
