Oleo: a commandline spreadsheet
Sunday, March 23rd, 2008Oleo features a curses based interface (character mode), but also a LessTif (Motif) based graphical user interface. If you feel a small jump of joy and say, “Hey, that’s VisiCalc!” … then Oleo is for you. Or at least you won’t be intimidated by it, which is the important part. One thing Oleo has going for it is extremely detailed documentation, which is a huge boost, considering it is a fairly complex application with a bit of a learning curve.
I found Oleo in the Ubuntu repositories, but I had to build it from source for openSuse. I was unable to check it’s availability in Fedora.
