High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! As Easy As was a shareware spreadsheet for MS-DOS developed in the mid 1980s which endured until the end of the MS-DOS era of computing. (The software was also rewritten for Windows.) The name is a play on the phrase "as easy as 1-2-3", a reference to the dominant MS-DOS spreadsheet, Lotus 1-2-3. The program was sold by Trius, Inc. (Not to be confused with Tritus, the makers of the Tritus SPF clone of the mainframe ISPF interface and editor.) As Easy As is historically significant as one of the earliest and most useful shareware programs that competed with commercial software on the basis of both price and features. For small businesses and personal users, the price of Lotus 1-2-3 was prohibitive, and As Easy As provided basic spreadsheet functionality for about a tenth of the price. This paradigm of undercutting the spreadsheet market leader would be adopted by Borland's Quattro Pro (which was not released until 1990). Subsequent versions of As Easy As became as powerful as any MS-DOS spreadsheet.
