- I just thought I'd mention that I recently hear that MS is
- building a callable interface to Excel. When that's available,
- you'll be able to call *excel* from within your program (I
- suppose this may be at the DLL level, but I'm not sure). This
- is a great idea, someone could for instance create a full blown
- stats package that used calls to excel for its interface and
- display output. It would be like an excel add-in, only much
- faster and with smoother integration. All of excels built in
- functions would I presume be available as function calls. This
- could save a lot of coding effort.
