Hi, all! I wrote package (about 200k sources, BSD license) for generating BIFF8 files (Excel 97/2k/XP/2k3) with UNICODE, shared string table, ... This isn't port or borrowing of pyXLWriter (it knows only BIFF 5/7) or Perl::Spreadsheet::WriteExcel. My package is written from scratch. I'm working now on support of Esher layer in Excel files. I implemented also from scratch writing of MS Compound Documents. In addition package contains BIFF8 dumper and OLE2 files dumper. At present this package used by http://www.kurskline.ru/cgi-bin/prices.pl for generating .xls Want someone using such package? -- Regards, Roman V. Kiseliov, unicorn@kurskline.ru ICQ: 282708268 P.S. Package name is "pyExcelerator" ------------------------------------------
