ABOUT ABACUS
|
ABOUT ABACUS Abacus is a small, light and easy to use spreadsheet being developed as our graduation project in our University IST , Portugal. We are working at INESC, under the tutorship of Prof. Arlindo Oliveira, and the spreadsheet is being developed using the Tcl/Tk toolkit, as well as plain old C/C++ for all the "number-crunching" tasks. The project works for us on a Linux box running kernel 2.x and Tcl/Tk 8.0.x, we are pretty sure you can build the source on any 2.0 box, though we haven't tested it...but it shouldn't be too hard :) The good news is that our twin project - the Abacus for the PalmPilot Organizer - is now available! The Abacus for the Pilot is now undergoing its first alphatest, but you can download the app and actually take the Abacus around with you on your Pilot so you won't miss it anymore when you're away from your computer! Please remember, however, that the PilotAbacus is being deloped by a different team (also working under Prof. Arlindo who coordinates us), so when sending mail check if you're using the right address. We have finished adding new features to the Abacus and are now working towards a truly first alfa release. Currently, we're going to try and make it work on as many *NIXES as possible and fix some bugs still in the code to make it as stable as possible. We're also going to try and document the macro system better, which is quite powerful but is not properly documented yet. We'll start making releases more often too, the first release was now a long time ago mainly because there was a lot of stuff to fix and new stuff to do, but since development is now more geared towards bugfixing and not implementing new stuff, the release frequency should increase. The following functionalities are available in the latest version: (Abacus v0.9.13)
Sorry, it still not available :-(
