SC -- A launcher for the Public Domain Spreadsheet Calculator

I use the public-domain spreadsheet "sc" for compatibility with other Unix systems.  But it's a bit cumbersome to have to start a Terminal window and "cd" to the proper directory, or type a long pathname, in order to look at the contents of one of its files.  Hence this quick hack: a few lines from Weather.app and from Draw, to allow you to double-click on spreadsheet files (extension ".pdsc") and run the spreadsheet in a Terminal window.

This doesn't provide anything like a GUI---just an easier way to start the spreadsheet within Terminal.  The spreadsheet itself isn't included---you must get that from an archive site.

Instructions:

Standard Release Systems:

1. Type "sc" in a Terminal window, to verify that you have the spreadsheet.
2. Drag SC to ~/Apps.
3. Double-click on 1040.pdsc, and have fun.

Extended Release Systems:

As above, except
1a. Inspect the source, change and recompile as you deem fit.
