What is needed to open the program? It is a .tar document? What is that?

Dave send me an e-mail or your address and I'll get the older version to you.
Leo you can download a program to extract it from the tar file HERE

Worked great. Thanks a lot. Just need that version of Excel now...

Leo and all,

If you don't have Excel or a current version, you can use the software with Open Office. It is an open source collection (free) of software that does all that MS Office does plus a few other things (will convert .doc to .pdf as an example).

http://www.openoffice.org/

I have used Open Office for about two years now. I downloaded Super Tiller from the link above and it opened right up in Open Office.

I would like to get the instructions or help file for Super Tiller from someone. Thanks,

Ray

Ray I hate to tell you but supertiller will NOT work with openoffice. :( You can open it but the version of basic that supertiller is written in is different than openoffice uses so the macros that run it do not work.

Supposedly it is possible to rewrite the macros in openoffice basic and it will work but I'm not sharp enough to do it. Also if someone had the developer version of excel it is possible to covert supertiller to an exe program file. Anyone have that?

Thanks, B.B. I launched the program and played with the sheets but did not make any charts or graphs. I did enter some values but didn't go beyond that.

Thank you for clearing that up. O.O. is still a nice office suite and it's free. I will have to look into the macro issue if I get some time this Winter.

Ray I agree with you on OO being a nice office suite. I use it on all but one of my computers. Just can't justify the cash required for ms office.
