Files

All Files created by us can be downloaded through the Files page. Many of these files was created long time ago, when we didn't have money to buy a software license and had to do everything by hand or using Excel. We know that it's still a reality in many countries, which is one of the reasons we created this site with a reasonable subscription price.

The files can be download for free but you need to logged to do that. Just create an account and ignore the no active order message in the Dashboard. You only need to pay if you intent to use the ΣCalc application.
