SSS History

Version 1.3

Released: Feb-2007
1) Fix problems inserting/deleting cells.
2) Adjust equations during row/column insertion and deletion.
3) Added SUM and COUNT functions.

Version 1.2

1) Clear existing grid upon loading a spreadsheet.
2) Add edit box and address label.
3) Improved error handling in open.
4) Save/restore row and column sizes.
5) Properly handle quitting save-as dialog.
6) Handle templates.
7) Allow in-place cell editing.

Version 1.1

1) SSS now saves previously opened files and shows them on the File menu so you can quickly open them.
2) SSS now saves its position and size when you exit so that the next time you start it, it is in the same place.
3) SSS now accepts filename command-line parameters. This means that you can associate the SSS file type with the SSS.EXE application so that clicking on an SSS spreadsheet in Explorer will automatically open the spreadsheet in SSS.
4) New Edit|Clear menu clears selected cells.
5) New Edit|Paste menu pastes to the spreadsheet.
6) You can individually change the size of rows and columns. However these size changes are not saved with the spreadsheet.

SSS Overview

The Simple Spreadsheet is a bare-bones spreadsheet available for free, including sources. I wrote it because I needed a spreadsheet with minimal features and just couldn't bring myself to spend hundreds of dollars buying one. So I wrote Simple SpreadSheet in about two days. It doesn't do even 10% of what the full-featured products do, but if you want only the basics, here is a free spreadsheet for you. SSS works on Windows XP. It probably also works on Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/Vista, but I've not tried the current version on all O/Ss. Note: Vista doesn't support the help file.

Version 1.3 Setup (1.4 Mb)

Released 25-February-2007

The source is included, so feel free to modify it. This software is released to the public domain. It is provided AS IS and no warranty is made by the author or any distributor of the software. Enhancements are welcome from anyone who wishes to take the time to do them.

Source notes: To compile the sources, you will need Delphi 7 (or later). You need to modify the Tools|Environment Options dialog (Library tab) to include the directory containing the DCU files in the Library Path. Note that Simple Spreadsheet makes extensive use of a free subroutine library (included).
