What is an abacus?
An abacus is a mechanical calculating tool, up to today used in Russia, Japan, Korea and China. See TkSoroban for an emulation of the Japanese kind.
Abacus
Abacus is a Tcl/Tk/C++/C spreadsheet developed for Linux. It supports graphics, printing, saving and loading different formats, cell editing, sorting, column and row manipulation, cell formats, undo/redo, formulas, and more.
The programming team (in Portugal) also references a tool called Abacus for the Palm Pilot; however I don't believe it has any Tcl/Tk connection.

(josh) It would be fun to be able to play around with an exe Windows version of this program, compiled in this manner: http://wiki.tcl.tk/11861
