ABSTRACT

This paper describes the implementation of the STSC Spreadsheet Manager for users of STSC's APL*PLUS® PC System. The discussion is primarily from the standpoint of the product's internal workings. Important aspects are selection and interfacing of the languages to be used in the implementation (APL, C, and assembler), compatibility with Lotus® data structures, mappings between data in the APL and Lotus environments, manipulation of data in a spreadsheet context, and separation of function between APL and C environments.
