Old versions

    If you are using Lotus 123, or older versions of Excel (v. 4.0, 5.0, and Excel95), you can still use Texture AutoLookup (TAL) to determine soil texture classes. However, these older versions of TAL only support the USDA scheme. Further development for these programs has also ceased.
