Visicalc was first. It was the killer app for use of the PC in the office.

There is no need to pay for a fancy spreadheet to use CHIRP. They are bloated and complicated. I am a free software fanatic, so I use Gnumeric. It has all the capabilities you need for use with CHIRP (and pretty much anything else). I'm a Linux user. Unfortunately for Windows user, new versions do not run on Windows.

If I were forced to use Windows or some other strange platform, I would use Google Sheets.

I used it every day on a Radio Shack/Tandy Model III running TRS-Dos.
It worked very well.
If I remember right, Lotus bought VisiCalc, then tried to sue everyone
with a spreadsheet with a "look and feel" like it.

I don't think Excel was better than other spreadsheets - Borland
Quattro was nicer and available in text mode as well as Windows.
Microsoft just bought out (or out advertised) all the
competition...seemed to me.
