Well, Wikisteff, on Twitter, with the "25th order Runge-kutta integrator in Excel without using VB" (To be honest I don't really know what that is ;-/) test file responded to the thank you with;
"I, for one, cannot wait for more multicore/GPU. Libre is a fantastic product, and I would be happy to share my sheets, such as they are, with them." So, question for the list; Take him up on the offer? If there is a use for another test file I'll let them know and IDK get it to the QA group, I guess - ?
