Have you ever needed to write out data files in
Microsoft Excel format without using MS Office
OLE automation? 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 :

PLEASE NOTE : MS Office is NOT required for this 
toolkit to generate excel files !!!

For more info please email.
