platform Excel binary file. Multiple worksheets can be added to a workbook
and formatting can be applied to cells. Additionally, this module supports
writing text, numeric values, formulas and hyperlinks to cells.
.
The Excel file produced by this module is compatible with Excel 5, 95, 97
and 2000. Generated files are also compatible with the Linux/UNIX spreadsheet
applications OpenOffice.org, Gnumeric and XESS. The generated files are not
compatible with MS Access.
