This is release 0.3 of a new spread sheet program. It is written in
ANSI C and currently compiles on Linux using ncurses and Solaris 2.3
with SYSV curses. It should be fairly easy to port to other systems
which have a SYSV curses (or ncurses). It does not offer all
functionality of other spread programs yet and it needs public testing.
The following changes compared to version 0.2 were made:
- The formerly unnamed program has been named teapot (Table Editor And
Planner, Or: Teapot).
- various bug fixes
- LaTeX output added (untested)
- sort function added (mostly untested)
- Fixes to compile on Solaris 2.3 (SunPro cc/gcc, SYSV curses)
- min function added
The current release has the following features:
- curses based user interface
- sheet file format uses XDR or ASCII format
- tbl, LaTeX and formatted text files can be generated
- typed expression evaluator with the types int, float, string, error,
pointer to cell, empty and strings
- powerful cell addressing
- three dimensional sheets
- new expression evaluator functions can be added very easy
- X/OPEN message catalogs, if supported by the system
- a tiny user guide
teapot is available via anonymous ftp from cantor.informatik.rwth-aachen.de,
path pub/linux/teapot.tz.
