MacWorld Expo Boston
on June 6, 1991, as Resolve.
Resolve supports a worksheet size of more than one billion cells and includes 149 built-in functions that allow users to create financial, statistical and mathematical models. Resolve also contains
object-oriented, MacDraw-like drawing tools for combining illustrations, clip art, text, charts and numbers in reports. Resolve also included WingZ scripting language,[4] renamed Resolve Script. Resolve also offered 3D charting that Wingz was the first to bring on Macintosh.[5]
Resolve failed to gain significant market share due to
ClarisWorks
.
Reception
Resolve 1.0v3 got 4+1⁄2 mice (out of 5) in June 1992 issue of MacUser, praising the familiar interface and the scripting.[6]
