Whoops--that last link I sent was to something else. That was a link to another Rebol program by Robert Muench that allows you to control Excel. Very cool in itself, but not what I intended to send. (I was going to mention it initially, and change my mind.

Anyway, Rebol's a fun toy; if you haven't played with it yet, I recommend it. I just wish there was more documentation available for it.

Regarding Nano-Sheets: I really should have said that you should learn a bit of Rebol to use Nano-Sheets TO ITS FULLEST EXTENT; one can use it as a typical spreadsheet without learning any Rebol.

One thing that's very cool about it is that because it's so small, if you wanted to e-mail a spreadsheet to someone, it's no big deal to send the data AND the application that runs it! It would still probably be significantly smaller than an Excel file.

Anyway, it's pretty cool; try it out!

For Rebol, a great, fun language that also happens to be a (deparenthesized Scheme-ish variant of) Lisp, there is an awesome little freeware opensource application called "Nano-Sheets." Nano-Sheets is a full GUI spreadsheet engine written in less than 2K of Rebol code, and each cell in Nano-Sheets can independently contain and run any Rebol code within it! Tremendously powerful idea whose possibilities I'll leave to your imagination.

Of course, using it means learning a bit of Rebol, which in no way is a bad thing. A nice little project would be to port Nano-Sheets over to Scheme...hmmm.

After the first paragraph I started looking for a download link. What a let-down! :)

Hey, what's the chance you couldn't build it quickly with FarPoint's Spread?

Haha, our temp is still struggling with changing column widths and all the other "tricky things like that".

get up off your arse and code it - this would rock.

there's nothing worse than handing a spreadsheet over to someone, then getting it back covered in some temp's idea of "prettification"
