Mariner Calc is the ultimate number cruncher. Mariner Calc is a powerful, yet streamlined spreadsheet for the Mac OS designed for the analysis, simulation and forecasting of numerical data.
It adds new capabilities through its use of multiple layers in a document.
Subtly powerful 150 built-in functions
That means charts, named ranges, split and freeze window pane views, multiple finds, sorting, auto-sum, protected worksheets, and cell borders. Try using all of them, we bet you can't!
Layering...and we don't mean dressing for a Minnesota winter
Mariner's layered sheets, sort of like Excel's multiple worksheets, are great. Layered sheets allow you to share information between sheets via a tabbed palette. What more, they're easily created via a pop-up menu at the bottom of the document window. Layers can be exported to other spreadsheet applications as documents via a single menu option.
The devil is in the details
Most people can tell when they are working with an intuitive piece of software. While no software is perfect for every user, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know when a product has been developed with the common user in mind. We think Calc steps into this ring. Some examples: Calc can align text and numbers within cells vertically as well as horizontally, Calc can align headings across a range of cells. For those "oh shoot" moments, Calc has nine levels of undo! Calc's range of formulas is impressive, too; useful formulas for calculating depreciation will appeal to business users.
Plays nice with others
Mariner Calc also works flawlessly with its sister product, Mariner Write, our Mac OS X word processor, bundled as the MarinerPak. Why fork over $400 for MS Office? Why spend $200 for the latest Office update? We have streamlined Calc and Write to include only the "necessary" features. The features that won't get in the way of getting your work done. Features you will actually use. And yes, we read Excel and Word files so your friends and colleagues can send you files. The MarinerPak is a fraction of the cost of Office yet offers around 70% of the Excel and Word feature set that you need.
