Might play with it later, but this is sorta what I am talking about. You have a bunch of dependencies and the like. The idea that even the end-user, not just you putting it together, can do it with just one file is a myth.

Good luck doing it the Numbers way without Numbers.

Snit
Right... what Numbers offers is unique. As far as I know no other spreadsheet offers it.

owl
You whined about dependencies. Numbers is a dependency or the file is worthless.

Um, what?

Perhaps you do not understand the concept of dependencies? I mean, sure, to use a program you need that program. To use sc you are pointing to a bunch of other programs one may very well not even have (even on Linux).

They cling to their attacks and ignore the message time and time again.
