FWSI (Final Writer Spreadsheet Import) is a modular ARexx program for direct
importing (as a text/graphic object) of spreadsheet data into FinalWriter.
Developed for FW 4.0, the program may also work with earlier versions of Final
Writer.

FWSI is *capable* of importing many parameters of a spreadsheet, but not all
spreadsheets are capable of exporting all those parameters. I have included
PCALC.fwsi for importing from Professional Calc, FCALC.fwsi for importing from
Final Calc, and CSV for importing Comma (or any other delimiter) Separated
Value ASCII data.

The Final Calc import module is the most sophisticated module, allowing import
of most parameters. The ProCalc module only allows the import of height and
width data in addition to the cell contents, and the CSV module can obviously
only import the cell contents.

I was unable to get the ARexx interface of EasyCalc working, and since the
docs aren't included in the TurboCalc demo version, I was unable to create a
TCALC.fwsi module. I know TurboCalc has some features (such as multi-line
rows) that are currently unsupported by FWSI; if someone wants to send me a
legal copy of TurboCalc I will gladly modify FWSI to incorporate as many
TurboCalc features as possible :-)

FWSI.rexx may not be modified and then distributed in any way; distribution of
the original, unmodified version of the macro is allowed by any no-cost-
for-the-software means. FWSI modules (that is, those ARexx programs ending in
.fwsi and intended for use in conjunction with FWSI.rexx) may be created,
modified, and distributed as desired.
