Letter: Eggcel

Published 26 June 1999

From Andrew Richards

Further to Simon Hogg’s revelation of a flight simulator in Excel 97
(Feedback, 12 June),
you might be interested to know of a small 3D maze in Excel
7.0, a pinball in Word 97 and a Magic 8 ball in Access 97. Such hidden
functions, or Easter Eggs, are much more common than you might think.

All this and much, much, more is revealed at www.eeggs.com/
