uses excel4 ? It links with xlcall32.lib and works fine in my office xp
version of excel. It has alot of dialogs which then creates charts and
graphs and statistical information. I figure mac programming must have an
equivalent of dialog boxes and since we're dealing with excel it has built
in charts and "should" be somewhat similar programming despite the different
platforms.

Are there any frameworks for creating excel add ins or any sample code
around. I saw one by a sailmaker company but haven't looked at it yet.
