Visicalc, the original spreadsheet program for microcomputers is explored for suitability as a vehicle for system dynamics models. It is shown that Visicalc can support most of the model features that DYNAMO allows, but at the price of some inconvenience and care needed when setting up the model. However, with the widespread distribution of spreadsheet programs among decision makers, there maybe situations where they may be the vehicle of choice for implementing a dynamic model.
