Typespreadsheet

As-Easy-As for DOS and As-Easy-As for Windows was a shareware 32-bit spreadsheet program developed in 1986 for MS-DOS and later for Microsoft Windows. The name is a play on the phrase "as easy as 1-2-3",[1] a reference to the dominant MS-DOS spreadsheet at that time, Lotus 1-2-3 with which it competed for a fraction of the competitor's price.[2] The program was developed and sold by TRIUS, Inc. (a company founded by David Schulz and Paris Karahalios[3][4] a Shareware pioneer[5] - not to be confused with Tritus, the makers of the Tritus SPF clone of the mainframe ISPF interface and editor). The company eventually branched out developing CAD and GIS/Mapping software and SDKs, not focusing on As-Easy-As.
