calculations. I have been using it for over 10 years. I find it easier
to use than TEDDS. The presentation of the calculations a lot better
and it is a lot more powerfull than TEDDS. Some people that use to use
Mathcad has converted to TEDDS because of the Structural spreadsheets
that are already done. I believe that if you want to make your own
spreadsheets, Mathcad is the way to go. It retails for about $1100.

TEDDS is great for the pre-packaged solutions, but time-consuming for
writing your own calcs. One of the earlier commenters was kind enough to
send me one of his problem solutions which I have used a little. For the
home written solutions, I prefer the ease of the spreadsheets, both E-I
and my own. I would like to get more TEDDS calcs by others; is there a
users group out there?
