This is beta release 1.3 of GNU Oleo.
Oleo is a spreadsheet program (better for you than the more expensive
spreadsheet). It supports X windows and character-based terminals,
and can generate embedded Postscript renditions of spreadsheets.
Keybindings should be familiar to Emacs users and are configurable by
users.
I believe all reported bugs have been fixed; if you spot a bug from a
previous release, please re-report that bug.
This release introduces many new features.
- On line help. ^H is the help prefix. ^H ^W creates a wallchart of
keybindings.
- Oleo speaks gnuplot. The prefix M-g leads to a menu of commands for
drawing graphs.
- Tax forms. The first spreadsheet contributed by a volunteer: 1992
federal and State of Connecticut tax forms. Load the file `irs-1992.oleo'.
- The keybindings are more Emacs-like.
The file NEWS describes these changes in more detail.
The file USING is the only manual-type documentation there is at this
time. It is somewhat out of date. The on-line documentation is more
up to date.
Future plans include:
- More options for postscript printing than just EPS.
- Incrementally improving the Oleo command set and display interface.
- Extending the data model to support
- Multiple spreadsheet files (like multiple buffers in Emacs).
- Multiple named variables and arrays within a single file
(or shared by multiple files).
- Symbolic addressing (rather than only row/column addressing).
- A volunteer has offered to work on a manual for Oleo.
