sc is a ascii text based spread sheet
it uses vi keys for navigation and editing
it works in terminal windows or the console
no mouse required

I made the rpm on a RedHat 7.2 system, 
it should work on RedHat 7/8/9

modegen.tgz are sc spreadsheets for making
X11 modelines.  See README in the tar file.
