Open Source and GNU is catching on. In particular, Open Office makes Word and
Excel available across platforms. Open Office is free, is almost compatible
with Word and Excel, and has PDF exporting built in.
My spreadsheets: illustrating-shadows.ods
and: illustrating-shadows-eot.ods
work on Open Office, I had to change them snce there are some incompatabilities
with my Excel versions.
Further, I keep 4 PDF files being the four recent, current and next year's EOTs
on my web site:
www.illustratingshadows.com
As an aside, I now have written assemblers and simulators for the IBM 360 and
IBM 1401 along with Assembler, Autocoder, and SPS programs for the h and v
dials. Thus I think I have the largest collection of sundial program skeletons
for the lrgest collection of current, recent, and legacy languages, as well as
for legacy and antique computers.
In addition to my DeltaCAD collection and ProgeCAD (LISP) collection, TurboCAD
not only supports VBS (I have programs for v and h dials there), but as of
TurboCAD 15, there is a new "parametric part" and I have a v and an h dial
there also. You can click on the dial plate (right click) and it shows you the
parameters, you can change them, and the dial plate re-draws itself..
In spite of all this, I do actually have a life!
