3D-Calc is a 3-dimensional spreadsheet program for the Atari ST computer.
The first version of the program was released in April 1989 and was distributed by ISTARI bvba, Ghent, Belgium. The spreadsheet was 3-dimensional since it contained 13 pages of 2048 rows and 256 columns. Cells of different pages could be cross-referenced.
The program included an integrated scripting language, and an integrated text module with a data import feature from the spreadsheet, allowing formatted data output, mailmerge, label printing etc.
Starting May 1991, the English version was distributed by MichTron/Microdeal, Cornwall, UK.
In January 1992, version 2.3 of the program was licensed to Atari Corp., who released Dutch and French translations.
In 1994, version 3 of 3D-Calc (renamed 3D-Calc+) was licensed to the UK magazine ST Applications.
Today, 3D-Calc software is in the public domain and can be downloaded freely.
In 1992-1993 the sourcebase was ported to DOS to serve as the basis of a new statistics software package MedCalc.
