- Sheet v1.0
-
- Sheet is a Shareware program, you can try the program before you buy it.
- To continue using the software, you must register it (see below). When
- registered you will recieve version updates, and add-in applications as
- they become available. Sheet v1.0 may be distributed to other users in its
- original form; registering is required for each copy.
-
- Installation
-
- The ZIP file includes five files: Sheet.app, Sheet.hlp, Sheet.pic,
- Example.s01 and Sheet.txt. To install Sheet, place Sheet.app into your
- \app\ directory, Sheet.hlp, Sheet.pic and Example.s01 must go into a new
- directory named \sheet\ on the same drive as the application.
- Add Sheet to your System screen by using Install Application option on
- the System screen menu. The Sheet appication with its icon and the example
- file will then appear.
- The help file, Sheet.hlp, is not critical to the running of Sheet, and
- may be deleted if unwanted (it uses 7K of disk space). The example file
- may also be deleted at any time.
-
- Using Sheet
-
- The best way to learn how to use Sheet is to look at the example sheet
- and read the help screens. In the exmaple sheet, use the arrow keys to move
- from cell to cell. Press Enter to view the actual cell data, i.e. formulae
- behind values, for examples of cell data construction.
- The number of sheets open concurrently is limited only by memory. Each
- open sheet takes up about 19K. This stays constant because work is done on
- the actual file rather than a copy. The About screen on the Special menu
- displays the number of free bytes on the disk.
- Sheet can import and export DIF files. These can be read by such
- applications as Lotus 123, Microsoft Excel and many others, either via
- translate programs or directly. Some have sophisticated enough search and
- replace routines to convert Sheet's formulae into its own type. For those
- that don't, formulae can be exported as values rather than text. Sheet has
- search and replace routines to facilitate importing DIF files.
- Upto four compatible applications can loaded into Sheet at one time. A
- graph application will be available soon with registration of Sheet,
- enabling a graphical display of cell data in various different formats,
- such as line graphs, bar graphs and pie charts. For anyone interested in
- writing their own applications for Sheet, source code and documentation
- is available on request.
- There are a couple a major ommissions to the program that I would like
- to add some time. One is variable column widths, which just requires some
- extra work. The other, printing support, is not so easy as I don't know
- how to interface to the printer drivers. If anyone could let me know how it
- is done I would be grateful.
