'''MULTIPLAN ''' is a spreadsheet application by [[Microsoft]]. It was called at former times (1983) one of the most powerful and user-friendly "electronic worksheets" and together with VisiCalc (from Software Arts), a typical [[CP / M ]] application of its time (late seventies / early eighties).
The application runs under CP/M with at least one floppy disk drive and a memory of 128 kByte, better with at least 62 Kbytes TPA (free space available under a patched CP/M2.2 or - of course - plus / 3), and a monitor 80 characters per line (which is included by the purchased standard monitors GT & GTM - they managed this resolution by default).
Multiplan runs on all CPCs of the old (and new) generation, provided the computers 464 and 664 had a memory expansion (eg . [[Vortex Expansions RAM card|VORTEX]], or other, similar additional hardware).
A printer could be accessed via the Centronics interface. The operation of a second floppy drive was recommended in terms of a more comfortable work.
All files of the original Multiplan version being used on the usual 170 kByte 135 kByte floppy (without operating system).
Data exchange with other programs (eg, the former WordStar) was possible.
