Or maybe you didnt have MS Office and didnt want to waste any money on 'un-needed' software? Well now you dont need MS Office! Even better - you dont need Windows! Use our toolkit to write excel format files!! Scitek Research are proud to release version 1 of their toolkit designed to write data files in Excel format. Data can be written to any Excel cell specified by a row/column and the file can be opened directly using Excel. The toolkit is designed to be platform independent and is supplied as DLL, OCX or static library (dos and windows) form. The toolkit does not use any internal windows methods (e.g OLE automation) to generate excel files so can in principle be used on other platforms (such as UNIX or MAC) although these have not been compiled for yet. The next upgrade which will be out soon (around Easter) and will support text formatting and both reading and writing to excel files. This version will be available free to registered users of the Excel Toolkit. A demo is now available to test out. You are free to use these demos as much as you like as long they are not distributed commercially. For more information and fast and easy access use : http://www.scitek.demon.co.uk/html/utility_libraries.html PLEASE NOTE : MS Office is NOT required for this toolkit to generate excel files !!!
