Oleo

Oleo has for a long time been GNU's spreadsheet. Now there's not only Oleo but also Gnumeric, the GNOME spreadsheet. Gnumeric is a full featured spreadsheet, aiming to compete with commercial applications, and well integrated with GNOME. Oleo is a light-weight spreadsheet that'll work in almost any environment.

Oleo features a curses based interface (character mode), and also a LessTif (Motif) based graphical user interface. A screenshot of the Motif GUI is here (11K png file).

Mailing lists

These mailing list concern oleo:

The GNU mailing lists maintain archives of the messages sent to it. The archives can be queried by E-mails whose subject starts with the word archive. By sending a message with subject archive help to bug-oleo-request@gnu.org you will ask the server to send you a message with instructions for working with the archive server.

We recommend that you also send a message with the subject archive ls latest as "latest" is the name of a directory.

Our TODO and ChangeLog files are now web-accessible : TODO , ChangeLog .

Please note that LessTif is a freely available replacement for OSF/Motif. LessTif is licensed by the GNU LGPL and can be obtained from www.lesstif.org.
