Hello, I found a photo of MichalOS here:  michalos.webp (450×250)

IN THIS there is an option Spreadsheet editor which i dont see in the MichalOS i installed, is this faked or is there a 3rd party program.

Hi, I'm the author of MichalOS, a fork of MikeOS. Please note that these two are not the same projects.

If you have questions regarding MichalOS (= my fork), please redirect them to the appropriate issues or discussions page instead of this mailing group, which is (as far as I understand) only for discussing vanilla MikeOS - which MichalOS is not.

Regarding the spreadsheet editor, I removed it over 5 years ago (judging by the old SourceForge page), as it was utterly pointless (it was nothing more than a glorified text editor with predefined cell-like cursor positions). Sorry.

I don't think this is fake because the author of MichalOS said that it was removed over 5 years ago and this is an old screenshot

To make it more useful, in MikeOS source/features/basic.asm could be leveraged to allow cell calculations. Each cell could either evaluate basic, or call functions.

That or it might not be toooooooo difficult to write some parser and evaluator for an Excel-ish language.
