- REBEL 3.0 has been developed to satisfy the demand for a spreadsheet
- that offers unlimited customization potential. The entire spreadsheet
- is patterned after a high level programming language. By adding new
- functions and utilities, it can be tailored to fit the needs of
- virtually any user group.
-
- REBEL requires NO REGISTRATION FEE to use, copy, or distribute. It
- may even be packaged with other products or services. For complete
- details, refer to the License Agreement in the back of the User's
- Manual.
-
-

- SAMPLE WORKSHEETS
-
- Three sample worksheets have been included:
-
- CHECKS.RB2 (a checkbook management worksheet)
- COGO.RB2 (an example survey that uses many of
- the Coordinate Geometry functions)
- MATRIX.RB2 (a general worksheet that contains an
- example of each of the Matrix Algebra
- functions)

- STANDARD SCRIPT LIBRARY
-
- Scripts are one of the most powerful features offered by
- REBEL. They extend the power and capabilities of the
- spreadsheet by allowing you to access functions,
- utilities, and even full applications that can be tailored
- to your specific needs. They are also easy to use.
- Simply, reference the library that contains the script(s)
- you want and REBEL's powerful Script Manager will handle
- the rest for you. For example, to access the scripts in
- REBEL's standard library, STDLIB.REB, simply start the
- program using the -L: option (followed immediately by the
- name of the library):
-
- REBEL -L:STDLIB
-
- It's that simple! The documentation for this library is
- contained in STDLIB.DOC.
-
-
-
- ___________________________________________________
- CHANGES (for existing users)
-
- The built-in FINANCIAL functions have been eliminated from
- this version of REBEL. They're now scripts. If you've
- used any of these functions in any of your worksheets, you
- will have to change their names to ALL UPPER CASE LETTERS.
- You will also have to 'attach' REBEL's standard script
- library file, STDLIB.REB, each time you start the program.
- To do this, use the -L: option (followed immediately by the
- name of the library):
-
- REBEL -L:STDLIB
-
-
-
- ________________________________________________________
- WRITING YOUR OWN SCRIPTS
-
- All versions of REBEL 3.0 and higher come with a built-in Script
- Manager that can access and execute scripts found in any (.REB)
- library file. Writing and creating these libraries, however, is
- an optional feature that requires a license for REBEL's Script
- Library Builder. The cost of this additional software is $29.00
- (see Order Form).
