A general purpose application is one that can be used to do many things that some other specialised packages can do. There are specific accounts packages, specific wages packages, specific stock control packages etc. Each of these are specifically designed to do those individual tasks only and make it easier to do them. However you cannot use them to do the task of another. So a stock control package cannot do wages or accounts. A spreadsheet can be used to do any of these activities. So it is general purpose. However, there is more work involved to do wages or accounts or stock control in a spreadsheet as it is not specifically designed to do them. If you are skilled at using a spreadsheet and know how to do wages or accounts or stock control, then you could use it to do those kinds of job.
