See [TkSoroban] for an emulation of the Japanese kind. 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. ** Comments ** josh: It would be fun to be able to play around with an exe Windows version of this program, compiled in this manner: See [How to compile a TCL script into an EXE program]. In fact this program is really complete. It has all sorts of spreadsheet functions built into it. The Portugal Tcl-Tk connection did really '''fine precision work'''! However, I for one would be pretty happy to simply be able to create small unpretentious spreadsheets; I won't need all the sophistication Abacus has. Therefore a small -call it- ''Mini Abacus'' stripped of many functions and holding in a meg or so would do the job perfectly for me and I believe for many of us. <> Application | spreadsheet
