See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge Xspread is an electronic spreadsheet which runs under X; it was developed by software engineering teams as part of a college course "Introduction to Software Engineering". The structure and operation of the spreadsheet is similar to but not identical with popular spreadsheets such as Lotus 1-2-3 and its clones. Like other spreadsheets, the workspace is arranged into rows and columns of cells. Each cell can contain a number, a label (i.e. character string), or a formula which evaluates to a number or label. Xspread is apparently based on sc. Sources are available as ftp://cs.uwm.edu/pub/soft-eng/ [11/95]. Information: soft-eng@cs.uwm.edu. [6/96] The GNU package Oleo handles spreadsheet cells with cross-references and calculation formulas. It can generate PostScript renditions of spreadsheets. Sources are available ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/ [6/96]. A simple spreadsheet based on the XbaeMatrix is available at ftp://capella.ibp.fr/pub/vidal .

A complete application programming interface (API) is provided with NExS. The API allows external processes, running locally or remotely, to access and manipulate the formulas and data stored in NExS cells, as well as access to all of the controls and features of NExS, including graphics. The flexible NExS API allows the NExS spreadsheet to serve as either the "client" or the "server" in a networked environment, supporting one-to-many, many-to-one, and many-to-many connectivity. You can download the functional demonstration of NExS which may be enabled for a full license; it is available from http://www.xess.com/ .
