New York, NY, June 29, 1995 – Market Vision Corporation, a subsidiary of Bridge Information Systems, and TechHackers Inc. today announced plans to offer TechHackers’ widely used @nalyst spreadsheet add-ins with Market Vision’s MV Spreadsheet Link product. The @nalyst package, which consists of five analytic function add-in libraries for use with most spreadsheets, will now be available with MV Spreadsheet Link for Applix Real Time, Lotus 1-2-3 and Market Arts Real Time on UNX platforms, and for Excel and Lotus 1-2-3 on Windows 3.1 and greater.

The robust @nalyst provides a perfect complement to MV Spreadsheet Link.
